... from what I can tell, has all the sending units

However - I suspect the output from those senders is yes/no, binary, not incremental.

Idiot light senders wont run gauges, they require to be the specific sender to suit the gauge you are using so the start and increment resistances match to get the correct reading on the gauge.

does anyone know what type of guage would be needed to use with monitoring the hydraulic system? I've acquired a few very small PSI guages would be perfect size and curious as to if any of these would work? or does it need to be a liquid type guage?

A gauge that shows more than 2,000 psi.

pretty sure it needs to be oil filled for safety and vibration issues.

Here is one:

so none of these gauges would work then Right! I have no specifics on them,
just that one is x 100 psi

I would use only a gauge specifically made for hydraulics. There is a significant safety aspect here.

Yeah! I kinda thought so.... I just didn't exactly know what these guages might have been used for? especially the one with 100 x that is a lot of PSI

FYI....I have an extra 30 mm and 32mm adaptor that installes in the upper radiator hose for an external temp gauge. Paid $20 each....make me an offer via pm and I can ship them out to you.
