It appears that my oil lines are reversed. This is the way they were when I bought the tractor and have had no reason to check them. This is a mistake that took years in aviation to prevent from happening over and over. In a modern jet engine the two lines would have been impossible to swap by design. I will swap them as soon as I can. It is strange but the pressue is good and it runs just fine. I guess it means that the oil is going the wrong way through the filter but still being filtered. Sometimes helping another does reap a reward! Thanks for the heads up.
