I have a YM165 tractor with 1050 hours.
The oil pressure idiot light started staying on longer after starting so I finally hooked a gauge to see what it really was.
I have 25 PSI / 60 PSI cold engine (1000 rpm / 2200 rpm)
When up to full temperature I have 5 PSI / 15 PSI
Yeah, not good.
What's my next step? Split the tractor and throw a $180 oil pump at it? Its mowing season and its my only mower!
