Hello everyone! I picked up a Ford 861 Diesel tractor a little while ago from a good friend who passed away. It was his "Daily Driver" tractor and has been used quite a bit. Im not sure on the year. It has the 5-speed, live P.T.O, and power steering, however both the hydraulic are shot and most of the hoses need to be replaced (a future project). Anyway I pulled it out of the boneyard a few days ago and started doing little things to it (Change all fluids and filters, flushed fuel system etc.) It smokes a little bit but runs very smooth. One thing I noticed was as I used it and got the engine warming up the oil pressure would constantly drop. (From 40psi when cold to hovering at about 20-22psi at 1,000rpm) Im wondering if this is a problem or if thats just happens when the engine gets warm. What do you guys thing about it? i'm thinking about possibly restoring it, but not sure if its worth doing or not. Any opinions or information would be greatly appreciated

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
