[Tigers] Tiger Ballast resistor

    I believe CAT does or did carry a braided gage oil line, I have not
checked lately.   I don't know if there were any problems or workmanship
issues but they can happen.
 
When I was working on my gage oil line I happened to walk into a hydraulic
shop for other reasons and I saw they had a spool of black plastic pressure
tubing in the correct size so I bought a length.  I forget the pressure
rating now but it was substantial - I think it was 400 psi or more.  
 
I had to heat the tubing in boiling water to get it onto the block fitting.
The tubing has worked just fine for almost 40 years now.
 
I would think similar black tubing is still available but I don't know.  An
alternative would be to buy an oil gage and use the plastic tubing provided.

I talked to Rick at SS last night.  The Ballast resistor is in his catalog
but he no longer carries it.  So I ordered the NPD T-Bird part.

Also, he no longer carries the steel braid oil gauge line, citing a bad
experience with one that leaked, an apparent workmanship issue.  Didn't CAT
have one?  Same part?  Same problem?
