No, they do have a front plate.
If you remove the front plate you can access the pressure relief valve and spring and the oil pump gears, but not the drive gear of pickup screen. The KT's did have some issues with plugging the screens, but they also had a plastic oil pump drive gear that is known to disintegrate just like the plastic governor gears do in the KT's. My guess is either something is stuck on the pressure relief, or the drive gear crapped out. You have to split the case to get to the drive gear.
Sam's idea on the oil lines is good, but in post #1 he stated that the light first came on while blowing snow.
OP: Here's a clue, when the oil pressure light comes on, SHUT IT OFF!
Then find out why, and fix it. I imagine your engine is now toast and you are just wasting time trying to fix it.
