Bought a used tractor about three weeks ago. I doesnt have the original oil sending switch someone removed it and put a gauge in. Thats ok but you cant see it from the operators seat. I decided to get all of the indicator light working again but cant get the oil gauge out of the block. Anyone got any ideas? The sides feel scuffed up almost like a pipe wrench was used to install it. How strong are these gauge usually? I am concerned about putting to much torque and ringing it off. What about heating the stem a little, could that help? I though about using a pipe wrench but my only access is to the gauge I cant get a wrench on the stem. What about a strap wrench? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
