Hi Mark,
the scan below may explain what you are seeing that is NORMAL for these old Cats.
It also gives a clue as to the correct oil to use for these old technology engines that need old technology oils--as OM is alluding to.
They run on oil flow not pressure.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Eddie, I had no idea but when you think about it, that makes a lot of sense, thank you!!
I might order a couple of those $3,59 temp gauges. L.o.l.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
