See the picture of the oil filter shown earlierNo. You should never see 150 PSI oil pressure. At that pressure, I'm surprised that the filter itself didn't give out.

Look at the pic closely, three parts, two move inside of each other. If the are not stuck as 1mouse suggests perhaps the bleed off passage is clogged. However if it was clogged not sure how the oil pressure would drop later. Maybe those parts are sticking when cold. Maybe they have dirt, sludge, or some corrosion. Pull them, clean them, inspect them, and reinstall them.The oil pressure regulator is a slide in a sleeve on these. When there is issues it would be best to pull it out the cooler header for inspection. If all this is good the only other thing left would be its drain in the block to pan.
Check for firewall flex at the master. Check the master push rod bushing if that stuff is bad it makes a huge difference on how well the clutch releases. They are a royal pain to bleed. Last time I bled one it took 3 people me underneath with the vacuum pump, buddy pumping the clutch like mad and another buddy maintaining fluid level in the reservoir. Also I gotta say that's a very nice looking clark 825 bobcat my dad has one always loved that machineOn the wheel calipers that were dragging, I just took and pushed pistons back in with a C clamp then release the C clamp mashed breaks did this several times they seem to free up time will tell.
This picture shows the clutch slave cylinder. I'm having trouble getting enough travel or pedal. The clutch does release but the pedal is to the floor when it does I don't know if this is to be expected? I know my 96 it's got a lot more room when the clutch releases. So you can see in the picture I have placed quarter inch nut under the pushrod. it does seem to make some difference. any thoughts on this would be appreciated. I will say that I do think I have all the air out Used every method I could find, even vacuum.
the master cylinder will move a little how do I stop that?Check for firewall flex at the master.

I checked out the web site,In addition to what Isaac said, there is a plastic retainer for the slave cylinder that is meant to stay in place and function as a bushing where you have added that hex nut. 1/16” here and there can add up to a significant amount of pedal travel. Also Russ @Type4 Russrepair.com has a new braided clutch hydraulic line that does make the bleeding very easy.
Check your vacuum pump. It's probably bad.Brakes are working like there is no boost no power assist
