Just having the usual run of fun with the D15 I am working on. The oil pressure gauge line shed the last 1/2 inch, with the brass nut and flared end when I tried to disconnect it from the gauge to allow me to get the dash plate off. Checked with Agco and they are not available. Is this something that one can repurpose other lines from NAPA or other suppliers? Part number is 70228332. Suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance for your help. ------------- |

Got a pipe bender? Take that line with you and go to any of the auto centers ( NAPA, O'Reilly's, Advance Auto, Auto Zone, etc. ) they'll match you up with a steel line the right size and length, but you'll have to bend it. OR check with any of the vendors on here... Any salvage yards around you up there? ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

The line runs under the gas tank from the bottom of oil filter housing to the gauge, so bends are minimal. If NAPA has a line I would probably be able to get that bent as much as is needed with out to much trouble. I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks. ------------- |

| You can also use the plastic op line, from any universal mechanical oil gauge kit... THey come with 4-5 adapter nuts, and the ferrils that go over the line, and the nuts to fit the various size lines... |

I've used premade brake lines before. You'll need adapters ate each end, 1/8"NPT to 'brake line flare'. I really 'cheated'(shh don't tell the correct cops) and screwed a 30PSI tank guage into the oil filter base. Yeah, you have to bend down to see it,but every time I do it's at 15PSI. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

as DIY said or i used the universal soft copper line on my series II. Didn't worry about all the excess tubing since the side panels cover that up. |

Thanks every one for the feedback. I picked up a line at Napa that will fit. Just noticed a deal at the Harbor Freight equivalent on a small line tubing bender, so will probably get that and make my oil pressure gauge work .------------- |

I've heard thoughts that failure of the plumbing to the oil pressure gauge did more engine damage by failing and running the engine out of oil than any other engine oil failures not noticed when the engine didn't have an oil pressure gauge. Gerald J. |
