Oil pressure light on

[biglbft]

While working with my B2650 the oil pressure light came on and off a few times intermittently and then shortly after the tractor just died. There's plenty of oil in it. Any thoughts

There may be a low oil pressure engine cut off sensor.

Does it crank over?

How did it die? Suddenly, or slowly, like it was under load (ie oil starvation). The two incidents may be unrelated. Get mechanical oil pressure gauge that you know is good and install it. You should get oil pressure just from cranking the engine, even if it doesn't start. If you observe pressure, the stall issue may be something else like fuel starvation.

I agree - don't jump to premature conclusions.

The oil pressure light may have flickered because the engine was faltering.
