Hydraulic temp gauge install on BX

davesl708 · Jun 22, 2016

Has anyone install a temp gauge on their BX? I would like to have one to monitor HST and trans temp.
If so what gauge did you install and what problems did you have?

There was a thread about 3 years ago where the guy fab'ed up heat gauge and aux cooler on the right rear fender. Look around some, I know it's here somewhere.

I'll be watching this to see if anything crops up.

have you ever had an issue w/your hydraulic system overheating that could have been avoided by having a temp gauge? wouldn't kubota have included one if deemed necessary? keeping the fluid & filter maintained, and esp. the fans in good shape would be sufficient imho. should you splice something in, be careful of the hydraulic high pressure! best regards

I have not had an issue yet. Would like a little warning if I am overheating the trans/hyd. fluid.
Fan is now in good shape It got trashed even with the factory shield in place.
