oil pressure gauge
I noticed that TC 37F Parts Manual lists several different part numbers for the oil pressure gauge which I assume is for different year model tractors. The only ones that I have actually seen have a "range" rather than numbers on the face so anyone care to explain the difference and when used? I understand the "sending unit" and its function as well as that it was used with the oil pressure indicator light like the Numbered Series LoBoys. Thanks. Stan

Re: oil pressure gauge
Just a guess, the later tractors with higher RPM also had higher oil pressure at maximum engine speed.

Re: oil pressure gauge
Hi,
TM Tractor says there were 4 different oil gauges IH used on Cubs. Here are pics below, at the top of the page. IH changed the style over the years.
My friend had a 1955 Cub, it had the 2nd gauge, he put one of the 4th ones on it, he didn't like it too well, the hand didn't go up much on a gauge made for 75 lbs. At the time, we couldn't find one of the older style, that was before the internet was around.

Thanks. This confirms my suspicion that the gauges were calibrated for different pressure ranges. I suspect that the early one was probably 0-30 while the later one shows 0-75. I didn't think to look at the TM offering availability. Stan

Re: oil pressure gauge
Since cubs had a 35 pound pressure relief on the lubricating system, I suspect the 75 was made for different tractors than the cub, but it was cheaper to make the same gauge and simply use a different adapter.
