Oil Pressure gauge on a K241?

Recommended Posts

I was putting around the shop last night and found a couple of gauges. Couple of amp, oil temp and pressure. I got a amp gauge wired up.I have a voltmeter coming as well. i was thinking about wiring  in a pressure one as well. my question would be if i did, where would i mount it? Thanks, TractorBoy.

A K241 has what some call a splash bath oil system. This means that there is no oil pump to circulate the oil in the engine. Instead there is a dipper on the bottom of the connecting rod the dips into the oil & makes it splash oil around to every thing. This being said there is no oil pressure per say to measure from the engine.

 

If you wanted to add another gauge you could find a place to mount an oil temp gauge.

Or .. or.

You COULD mount that pressure gauge, and perhaps route it into the dipstick tube.

It'll always read zero ... which is technically correct, since it never made any pressure to begin with:icecream:

If you can locate one, I vote for a tachometer from a 520H.  I put one on my C165 as well as a fuel gauge and tank.
