I drilled it out and tapped for 1/8"NPT. I added an adapter so that the low pressure switch/idiot light was retained in addition to the new gauge. The Kohler M18 in my 1811 has 1900 plus hours on it. I run Rotella SAE30 oil. After 20 minutes at 80 degrees ambient temp, the oil pressure is almost 60 psi indicated at full throttle while mowing. This should have been standard equipment on all Cubs with a pressurized oiling system.
