I"ll add, from my own experience, that I had two paper-thin gaskets (which I procured in my engine rebuild kit), and there have been some on this forum who have gone to some considerable effort to measure gear clearance when buttoning the bottom of the pump back on, something Pete in Mi. will have to figure out, so Scotty if you wouldn"t mind making a mention in this regard...
(In my instance, after I had a machinist mill my cover flat again, using one gasket resulted in the gears slightly binding, and with two gaskets it spun freely, so I went to no more effort to measure, and just used two. Maybe not the best way to go about it...)
The "gauge" issue may be a good point. My gauge maxes to 30#, had been reading 10# until the overhaul, and now stays absolutely pegged on 30# at anything above an idle. If I"m not mistaken, an original gauge went to 60#. Knowing what is correct may be helpful to the other Pete also.
Lastly, as Scotty did a hugely better job than me in "assuming nothing", I"ll mention, in case Pete finds this confusing, as I first did, that you have to take a cast-iron cover off the bottom front of the bell housing to get at the rear of the oil pan.

Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
