Super Easy way to add OIL Temp Gauge to 782
I bought a tree gauge set for my 782. Voltage, Oil Pressure and Temp....
Install and hook up of Voltage was just two wires....My engine is a Kohler KT-17s II so it has a place for an oil pressure sender......but the Temperature gauge is really meant for a water cooled engine. I wanted to read Oil Temperature with it. Someone suggested that I figure out a way to connect it to the oil drain plug....Great Idea! Upon opening the package I found three brass adapters......And one of them fit the oil drain hole PERFECTLY! The temperature sender simply screws into the adapter and DONE! I rant the steel covered tubing under the engine and up to the gauge. Next time I have the welder out I'm going to weld something on the bottom of the engine mount to protect this tube. Maybe just a piece of inverted angle iron. I'm amazed at how cool these engines run. I idled it for about 15-20 minutes before the gauge even started to register. (It starts at 100 degrees). I thought it might be inoperative so I checked the area of the drain plug with a laser thermometer. Was still under 100 degrees. Finally it started to move but at 120 degrees I had to leave so I'm not sure how hot the oil actually gets. And I'm sure it gets a lot hotter when working.

150 degrees after driving around for 30-40 minutes. Not working hard, just driving around. Confirmed temperature with a laser thermometer

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
