I have a 52' H with two gauges. One for oil, one for temp. The oil gauge has a red shaded area on the left edge. My needle will stay in this shaded area while running and does not move much. My question is should the needle be in the red shaded area ? or should it be more in the middle of the gauge.?

42FarmallH is on the track. I have a 1950 M that had low oil pressure. When I tore it down, I found flaking crankshaft bearings. Fortunately, I caught this problem in time that all it took was grinding the crankshaft to 0.020” undersize.

If your oil pressure gauge checks out, drain the oil and look in the drain plug for bearing flakes. These will be shiny metallic flakes that you can dent and scratch with your fingernail. If the gauge is correct and you have flakes, you have problems coming.

Hope your gauge is busted!

It should run above the red shaded area - however it could be a problem with the gauge.

Hook up a known good mechanical oil pressure gauge with numbers on it. Spec for H's and M's is 75 psi, but 25 psi or higher should be fine.

My rebuilt H runs 70 psi hot at idle with 5w-40 oil in it as a reference...
