If the water temp gauge is the bulb type, it really makes a difference where it is located, as well as how far deep the bulb is inserted into MOVING water. Take the thing out and put the bulb in a pan of boiling water. If it reads 212 (near sea level), there's nothing wrong with the gauge, and everything wrong with the way you're locating it. Read the instructions carefully.

 Found the 3rd Thing... in reply to Bern, 10-03-2006 12:52:17  

I was moving dirt again today, this time with the Kubota as it is much more stable on hills. Anyway, Right when I get to the top of the hill I am making, about 12' high at this point with a slope of 35-40 degrees, the box blade drops down.

Uh oh. I get off and find that one of the 3pt lift arms has come off of the lower link. Walked back around and found the pin, but not the hair pin. I keep a selection of pins, clips, bolts, nuts, tools and luckily hairpins in the tool box. A bit of leverage from a long pry bar and back on it went.


Bern, Thanks for the tip. I do think it is in far enough. The bulb is a bit longer than the original and there is just the supplied adaptor used to screw it into the head. It's a 172D, the bulb is in the right side, far back location of the head just in front of the battery tray. Is there a better place to screw it in? I can't seem to recall there being any other location used. Lemme know!

Thanks,
jb

Sounds like you have it in the right hole. As long as the majority of the bulb is in MOVING water (i.e. not in a dead spot such as in a long adaptor pipe/bushing), it should be accurate. Check the gauge in boiling water as discussed earlier. Mechanical gauges are usually pretty accurate.
