Cub Cadet 1862
Need a little help with an oil issue, Last summer our governor decided to come apart and in doing so got caught between the crank and the crank case! Crank case lost that fight, so I was forced to do a little over haul. I found a used case on line and after cleaning it all up and replacing all bad/ worn parts it’s back together and running. Well kind of—see I can’t get any oil pressure- Better yet I’ve got a vacuum going on. Pulled sending unit and turned engine over with a drill and found it’s sucking air in. Not only that but it’s sucking air in at the breather- a lot of air. I’ve taken every line apart and tried to do everything. I’ve gotten a little oil to come out of the pump when I plug up all holes ( breather, sending, and anywhere else I hear air). Taken case apart twice and checked all bearings and oil holes, checked oil pump a few times-- all Checks good.
Any ideas?
I have run the engine in short busts to check it out but with no oil pressure I only run it for less then 2 minutes.
