Oil pressure line Ford 861D

P012281 · Mar 30, 2017

Does anyone know what size the oil pressure line is
that comes off of the block to the oil pressure
gauge? Steiner has a kit that has an 1/8 inch
copper line but I cannot find what the size is. I have
got this ford 861D running but I don't want to run it
hard until I know it is pumping oil. Thanks

The line is 1/8".

NOT sure how you have it running with the line missing???

I noticed that the gauge was not working so I got to looking around and seen that it was cut off and crimped about 4 inches from the block and the gauge did not have a line attached to it. My guess is somewhere down the line it got a leak or something and someone just crimped it off. I am going to try a brass compression fitting to splice it back so I don't have to pull the hyd. pump. It had been sitting for so long I don't want to start it until I know it is getting oil. Any advice would be appreciated as I know very little about tractors.

the brass compression fitting will work.
