I have a couple ixb's that run 15-20 psi and I have a couple of ixk's that run 5-10 psi... these crawlers all run real good but am wondering if this is "normal" oil pressure and/or if anything needs to be adjusted or done to improve this???
Thanks in advance!!!
Joel :D

My gramps always said all you need is 5 psi for good lubrication. The important thing is that the oil is moving to where it should be. No need to pressurize hydraulic lifters or anything like that.

My gramps Howard van Driest was Experimental Engineer at Cletrac and Oliver Corporation. After the plant closed, he and my uncle started an excavating business, initially using Cletrac and Oliver Crawler tractors.
