Super A oil pressure gauge question
Posted: Mon Oct 04, 2010 6:34 pm
Question to you Super A guys out there. My oil pressure gauge was so broken-rusty-destroyed that I could not see what the face looked like. So I ordered the one below from Steiner.
When I cranked the SA, it pegged the needle instantly. Then when the tractor was shut down, the gauge would only return about half-way. It appeared the insides had been over pressurized.
Talked to Amanda at Steiner, and they happily shipped be a replacement. Just like the first one. Same results.
Talked to them again, and she put me in touch with a tech guy. He was under the impression the gauge did not register enough pressure, so they have replaced it again with the one below.
I installed it this afternoon. When the tractor started up it pegs this one as well. I pulled the disc harrow with it for a few minutes to warm up the tractor. When I came back to the shop, at idle the needle drops down to approx 40 PSI. Is this about normal for a SA?? Does anyone have an original gauge that can tell me what kind of reading it shows?
This little tractor runs sweet and is very strong, so it does not "appear" to have any issues. Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
