Marv 867 #1 Posted October 19, 2012 I think my sensor is bad. Toro does not supply the sensor any more. Anyone know of a replacement for the sensor? Thanks Marv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,623 #5 Posted October 21, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if a Ford coolant sensor would be a good replacement. We used to add these to the GM cooler lines in the late 70's 80's to monitor transmission temps using a Stewart Warner gauge. Believe they came with 1/8" and 1/4" NPT threads. Back then the sensors were the same electrically except for the body/thread design. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,209 #6 Posted October 21, 2012 The Sunpro has to be the electonic gage, not the mechanical one. The mechanical version sensor is too long...ask me how I know :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trouty56 565 #7 Posted October 21, 2012 I believe it was you, Paul, that steered me correctly a couple years ago. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesBe1 80 #8 Posted October 21, 2012 Yeah, I use the sunpro electrical one too. Thanx to Paul for sharing before I bought the wrong one. You've saved two of us from buying the wrong one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
