Using the Ford 8530 and the John Deere 348 Saturday making some nice bricks

Was driving when the oil pressure light came on. Was about 1km away from home so I kept driving (big mistake) the engine died shortly after. I found out why the light came on..

The first cylinder rod bearing is most likely gone. After cleaning the filter and pan the engine now starts but makes a squeaking noice from rod bearing nr. 1. :( REMEMBER TO CLEAN THE PUMP
