Thread on oil pressure line on MF35X

Bob in Australia · Nov 9, 2012

I have put an alternator on my 1964 MF35X so I can run an electric spray pump. I want to put in a T piece in the oil pressure line from the block of the 3 cylinder Perkins engine, so I can use a pressure switch to excite the alternator.

Does anyone know the size of the hole and thread in the block? I can't find it in any of my books on the tractor.

Thanks

My standard gas 35 has 2 outlets along the oil galley.The one not being used would be a good place to study the threads IF the 35x isn't a way different bear.

Just for my curiosity: Why? Mine is 'excited' with the switch... What is to be gained by adding a pressure switch to 'excite' the alternator?

I have a press switch on it. I can usually remember to press it to
excite the alternator but when other people drive the tractor the
switch is usually forgotten.

We use the tractor for lots of little jobs on the farm and several
people end up driving it. Just want to make things simple for them.
