Havent had an opportunity to go to Autozone yet but I need to replace the oil pressure line which came from the T on the left side of the tractor and leads to the oil pressure gage. Can anyone tell me what specifically I should be asking/looking for? I mean is it just called steel oil line? Brake line? SOme sort of pressure line? And. . do you know the size or diameter?

Thanks

I have been told not to use copper for this type of application. From what I understand copper is susceptible to work hardening from vibration and will break. If it breaks, you will dump all your oil and cause a catastrophe. Steel is a much better spring material.

You need 3/16 diameter brake line. I assume it's for a DC. Bruce

It's just simple copper tubing, like a gas line on an old Brigs and Straton Engine. Any ACE harware store should be able to help you. Take the "T" and the gauage down to the store and tell them you want wahtever it takes to connect them.

I agree with using the copper tubing. Very easy to shape and bend without kinking and there are a ton of fittings available for hookup. The very small sizes work well.
