Re: R.O.C.K Restoration Project
Very Very nice. Tell the new owners to sign up and become members of the Cub Forum. Now they are "family". Can't wait to see what is next for you. Hope it is another IH project so you'll include all of us throughout your restoration process.

Re: R.O.C.K Restoration Project
Folks,
What can I say, words are really inadequate to describe the gracious hospitality showered on Jo and I. We are still overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity extended by Tim and his lovely wife, Tamera. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You!
Rocky, too, exceeded my wildest expectations, truly an outstanding restoration.
Those Texans know how to do things. They raised over $110,000 (not a typo) in, I thought 10 minutes, Jo said it was 20. It started by the MC asking "Who can give $10,000 tonight? Raise your hands." Three hands went up and it went on from there. Quite an event, is an understatement.
Thanks again, Tim and Tamera.

Once again, thank ALL of you for your participation, patience and support. I think these two videos, one professional and the other ameteur, will be a fitting way to end this thread.

Re: R.O.C.K Restoration Project
Hello Farmall Cub family. Instead of starting a new thread, I thought it may be best to add to this old thread in case there is something I may have missed during the restoration process. The gentleman that purchased Rocky at the auction called me recently and said he wanted to donate the tractor back to ROCK. He could not get the tractor to start so he dropped it off at my home about a month ago and asked me if I could help get it running. First thing I did was replace the 5 year old 6V battery which was dead. Tractor started right up and purred like a Kitten. Oil pressure was good and it sounded great. I changed all the fluids and drove the tractor around for about an hour. After sitting for about two weeks, I started it up again today only to notice very low oil pressure. Any ideas as to why the oil pressure is now reading low?

Re: R.O.C.K Restoration Project
You need to make sure the oil pump is primed before attempting any more starts.

You could check for a stuck oil pressure regulator valve, parts #1 through 4:

Re: R.O.C.K Restoration Project
Hi,
Thanks for the pictures.
If the oil gauge is reading at 0 when the engine is running, the oil pressure isn't just low, there is probably no oil circulation. The crankshaft bearings can be damaged soon if the engine is run with no oil circulation or pressure.
The oil pump can lose it's prime when sitting, sometimes it happens after months, or sometimes it happens sooner.
Priming the oil pump isn't hard to do.
Below is a post I made about priming the oil pump, it is part way down the page.

Re: R.O.C.K Restoration Project
Thank you all for the quick responses. I shut the tractor off as soon as I reliazed oil pressure was low. Primed the oil pump and it solved the problem. I am surprised it lost prime in only two weeks. Could it be the 0W-40 synthetic oil that was used? Used this oil because it was on hand but perhaps it has too low a viscosity to keep oil pump primed. I will be draining the oil and switching to 15W-40 Rotella T5 today.
