class=750373013-09092015> 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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=750373013-09092015>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.

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=750373013-09092015>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=750373013-09092015>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>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.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>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?</DIV>
