Oil Pressure guage

[RFox]

Any advice on where best to buy a mechanical oil pressure guage for a JD 4020? I've heard to only use metal tubing. My tractor has a turbo, so one of the oil ports is being used. But it looks like there are two? Thanks!

You can buy a guage at any parts store. Get the copper tubing kit to go with it too. I plumb a 3 way fitting at the block where your oil light sending unit screws in the motor. You can put the oil line on one side and your sending unit for the light on the other side of the T pipe fiting. Hope this helps. Jerry

Use an ELECTRIC gauge. It's NOT uncommon for the copper lines to crack and break, with potentially di$a$$terou$ results.

And i especially don't like the stiff vinyl (??) capilary lines for the same reason..
