Powertech Genset Kubota Engine Oil Pressure Sending Unit Part Number?

[mbulriss]

Ron,

The local Kubota tractor parts guy said "What's that?" when I walked in with it
in my hand and gave him the V1902-BG engine model code. He followed that with
"I've never seen one of those" when I told him what it was. The final was when
he asked if it was a tractor part and I told him it was on a Kubota diesel V1902
tractor engine on a genset and could he just cross reference it by engine code,
he said "I would have no way of finding that if it's not a tractor part. But
there's a Kubota industrial parts place in Houston you could call." I truly
thought about saying 'OK, I'll play this game - it's on a 1991 Kubota diesel
tractor with a V1902 engine', but I didn't know a tractor model code to make up
(which I just knew he was going to have to have to do a look up!), so I decided
it was just time to leave at that point. There was no intelligent life in that
universe.

I'm not going to worry about it since I do have oil pressure, since the shut off
sensor is not shutting it down, and the engine runs smooth as silk. It really
would be comforting however to have the dash gauge reflect the pressure. I have
built a "t" plumbing fitting with both the sending unit and a manual gauge on it
for when the tray is open. I am just going to put the defective sending unit
back on until I find the part number to hand feed to a "professional parts
specialist" somewhere.

You got a number on Powertech in Dallas?

Thanks,

Mike Bulriss

NAPA guys that knew how to look in the parts cross reference manual and match
the part?
