Oil Pressure line

Fullers Farmalls · Jul 22, 2012

The line to my oil pressure gauge has been cut and soldered shut. What type of line would be best to replace it? There are fittings are on both sides and it looks to be a copper/brass line. Thanks. Also its for a super M

The correct police will tell you copper or steel. Most new ones use a plastic that is pretty easy to run as you don't have to bend or flare it. It's your tractor so it's your choice.

Copper it fine. Easy to bend it around as needed. As it takes a 1/4 in tube I would not use plastic.

Steel brake line from any auto store works great. Can usually get a premade piece with fittings and flared ends pretty cheap. Seems likes its 1/4" that you need...

Steel, copper, or plastic will work. My personal preference is steel. If the tractor is used a lot the copper or plastic can wear through if they are allowed to rub on anything. Even normal vibration can cause them to wear through since they are softer materials. You don"t want to risk developing an oil leak. A big leak, like if a plastic line breaks will run the engine out of oil. Just my opionion!
