Engine Lubrication System PDF Instructions Manual
John Deere two-cylinder tractors will employ a system similar to the schematic. The pump consists of a gear pair that simply and positively “grabs oil” and full-forces that oil through the filter and on to various destinations. Above we have the Model “H” schematic, others will be similar in principle, differing in design (leaf springs, spring-loaded plungers, etc.). Oil pressure is user-adjustable, the adjustment method varies among models, but the concept is the same. Without regulation, the amount of oil being pumped will vary with temperature and oil viscosity. At initial start-up when more oil is being pumped, excess oil is returned to the pump inlet section (Relief). This regulating scheme is a function of a relief
spring held against a port of the manifold (Adjustment) under tension of another spring and adjustment screw. The end result is to be an oil pressure reading within a well-defined range of from 10 to 15 PSI (between M and H on the gauge). The pump is situated at the bottom of the crankcase. Oil drawn into the pump is screened, and oil pumped out to distant points of the engine returns to the crankcase. Note also an avenue for oil to bypass the filter. There is found another spring-tensioned gate, a “safety” in event
Pressure Regulation – Figure 14-3A illustrates the regulating part of the engine lubricating system. The adjust screw, when turned INWARD (CW) will exert pressure on the thin-looking relief spring by means of (unseen) a small coil spring – to increase oil pressure. The relief spring is pressed up against the sixth port of the manifold. Only when pressure exceeds a preset amount will the relief spring be pushed back to allow Relief oil (Fig 14-1) to return to the pump’s input side. For PSI (between M & H) – this regardless of engine temperature or speed; even at slow idle! At least 10 PSI to ensure oil reaches intended destinations. And oil pressure shouldn’t exceed 15 PSI because where pressure is too high, excessive amounts of oil are pumped, and this “excess oil”
Pressure spring, For some models, this adjustment can be accessed from outside the main case – usually by removal of a pipe plug. For some models, this adjustment is accessible only by removing the crankcase cover. In any case, instructions will generally tell one to stop the engine before making any such adjustment. You should consult your tractor’s service manual before adjusting. A System of Interacting Pressures — Looking back at the schematic on page 1 for a moment, many factors come into play when setting oil pressure. Each of the manifold outputs is designed for certain volume, and the individual calculated circuit resistances come into play to determine overall resistance to oil flow. This is much like having four or five hoses connected to one hose bib on the side of the house – if one bursts, all will lose pressure. If one is plugged up, the pressure increases for the rest. This system is much the same. So if an output is clogged, like the governor line on a “B” tractor for instance, pressure will rise. If your tractor has worn out main bearings allowing much of the oil to slide back into the crankcase prematurely, pressure will be lower. The bottom line here is that any rather sudden rise or fall in oil pressure should be taken as a signal that your engine’s oiling system needs attention.
If You Have No History with The Tractor – A high or a low oil pressure reading will not tell you much. In this case, you must methodically test each engine oiling section to determine the cause for the “out-of-spec” reading, and take remedial action in order to protect the engine. Fixed
figure 14-1, The oil filter head contains a “spring-tensioned gate” relief valve. Figure 14-5A illustrates the spring being just below the pilot. This valve operates under a fixed tension, and is designed to permit the system to unfiltered oil is lubricating the engine.
