I think that is quite common on the Cubs on losing their prime on the oil pump. I would buy a new oil pressure gauge and I would plasti-gage
all those bearings for clearance. Check those cylinders for wear too. There's an allen head plug at the left side of the block and you can squirt oil in here and remove the oil filter cap and fill the housing with oil and replace cap.

All the Farmall tractors have their oil pump bolted directly under the engine and is submerged in oil and as are most American cars and truck engines. The Cub pump is mounted at the rear of the block and that could be a design problem. I would pay close attention to the oil pressure gauge when starting the engine. I think this has happened when changing oil too. Hal
