Oil pressure in my International 140 was too low.
So I rebuilt the oil pump which then delivered 45psi at full throttle, and 35 at low engine speeds. After about 30 minutes of run time the low idle pressure drops to about 15psi, while the full throttle pressure holds at 35psi. I am using a multi grade 10W30 oil. Maybe I should change oil to a straight 30 weight.
Any idea of what may be happening?
