In Reply to: Can overheating cause low oil pressure posted by Cork Smith on Tuesday, May 27, 2008:
Cork: Did you ever hear the term, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well, yours ain't broke. The tractor is thermosyphon and that is exactly how they operate, close to boil most of the time, if you shut it off, directly from working it you should hear it gurgling and bubbling away. If you remove the cap with tractor reasonably warm, you should see the flow of coolant coming into radiator from top of engine. If you don't see that with tractor warm, that indicates it's not circulating. If it's not circulating, then you do have a problem. Another thing a lot of folks do is try to keep these radiators too full. It should be down about 2-2.5 inches below rad neck. Above that level it will just belch it out.
Don't fret about the oil perssure on these until it hits zero. It probably shows 30-50 lbs. when you start it cold the drops quite quickly to 8-10 lbs. Keep on tractoring.
