I’m wanting to add an oil pressure gauge to my 185 and wanted some ideas for installation and location. The dash on my 185 is Full. Thanks in advance. ------------- It's the color tractor my grandpa had! |

I did this on my 190XT, it’s easy to see at a quick glance. I posted a list of materials on my original post a few years ago. I teed it off the oil pressure sending unit. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Here is what I did to a 170.  Make
sure you use copper or steel tubing. Almost ruined a 190 by using the
plastic tubing the gauge kit came with... and worse, the second time....
Even worse when the third line decided to take a crap. That is when I
decided I better use something else other than plastic gauge kit tubing. I also keep the oil pressure light too, just relocate that up higher. Don't see it in the picture above because it hadn't had the hole drilled for it at the time. ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

| There was room on dash plate on my 220 for another hole so I cut one and added oil pressure gauge. Fuel gauge is on the tank. 220 only has temp on rt and ammeter on left plus idiot light which I kept. |

I never use plastic line on gauges for that reason. They sell the copper kit at Advance auto and it fits the AGCO oil pressure gauge. I also added that same gauge combo on my 160. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

I didn’t find the part number during a brief look on line. I know they carry it, It’s made by Bosch. Comes with the copper line, Ferrell’s, and some fittings. Around $15 the last time I bought one. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |
