1872 Oil Pressure Switch
My 1872 had a close call last week when my father was borrowing it to mow his lawn while his 1862 is in for repairs. (It's ironic one of the repairs on the 1862 is the oil pressure switch leaking) While he was running the 1872, the oil pressure switch let go and just about pumped the crankcase dry. It was starting to get really noisy by the time he noticed it. Since I already had the oil pressure switch in hand for his 1862, I simply used that switch to keep it going. Fast forward about a week and while mowing last night, the switch I replaced last week is leaking this week right by the spade connector. There is no oil present by the threads if the sending unit so the thread sealer I have on the threads is keep that dry.
I called the dealer and was told to check the crankcase breather for problems. I cannot see how crankcase pressure could cause the oil pressure switch to leak. The only thing connected to the switch is the oil galley which has oil pressure when running. Am I missing something here? If there's a problem with the Kohler oil pressure switches, (which at this point I am beginning to suspect) could I use an oil pressure switch from my chevy dealer? I have a chevy years ago that went well past 100K miles and never had a problem with the oil pressure switch. What do you think? What pressure does the Kohler switch indicate low pressure at?

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.
