Parts of lubrication system

    Oil pump
  • Oil pump is usually a gear type pump, used to force oil into the oil pipe. The pump is driven by the camshaft of the engine. The lower end of the pump extends down into the crankcase which is covered with a screen to check foreign particles. A portion of the oil is forced to particles. A portion of the oil is forced to the oil filter and the remaining oil goes to lubricate various parts of the engine. An oil pressure gauge fitted in the line, indicates the oil pressure in the lubricating system. About 3 kg / cm2 pressure is developed in the lubrication system of a tractor engine. If the oil pressure gauge indicates low pressure in the line, there is some defect in the system which must be checked immediately. Lubricating oil pump is a positive displacement pump.
