I have a 1950 John Deere "B" tractor, I replaced the Oil Pressure Gauge, the old one has had the oil line that went to the tractor to read the oil pressure removed. I want to reconnect it so the new gauge works, but I can't find where it connected into the tractor at or what sensor to buy to connect it too. They must have removed the sensor also and plugged the hole with a bolt as I have looked everywhere for it.
This tractor my grandfather bought new Dec.1950, I spent many day in the seat growing up and after also, I still use it on the farm from time to time. I have no idea why my dad or my uncle discarded the old line or when, all I know is I want to know what the oil pressure is. The ole girl runs great, burns no oil and will pull a house down, had her repainted and new decals 10 years ago and have the original harrows, cultivators, and Grain/Fertilizer Spreader he purchased with it for $1,626.24 back then, also have a fertilizer spreader that was bought some what later and bush hog.
I'm going to give it to my son with the implements as he needs one for his small farm in the lower part of the state, he grew up using it too, but I want everything working when I do. I tuned her up, rebuilt the carburetor, new 6 volt battery, changed all the fluids and filters, greased her up, new water temperature gauge as the old one stopped working a while back, also throwing in a new 6 volt battery charger since I will not need it then, and the only thing left is the oil pressure gauge to get working.
I have another tractor I use mostly now, but he can wait till I pass to get it, LOL.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it more than you know, I can't find anything on line to help at all. The closest JD dealer is no help either, their motto is "if you not buying we know nothing" as they say they have nothing on it at all.
Thanks for reading my post.
