Default Kubota and 2182 temp gauge
Hey there,

I've read that most people are tapping a hole on the water pump housing to add a water temp sensor and adding a water temp gauge. I also read someone with a D600 engine used a gauge and the existing idiot light sensor instead of adding one. Has anyone tried adding a electronic water temp gauge with the existing sensor before? I'd rather pay a little more for a gauge that would work with the existing sensor verses tapping a new hole if possible.

Sam Mac might have a picture of the spot in front of the head behind the battery which you remove a plug and put the factory sending unit right in. I can't find a picture of it at the moment.

So another possibile location to add the sensor? That would be cool too. I hate having to take apart the thermostat housing and tap it when it's all nice and sealed. Unless someone knows off hand the thread type the current temp sensor is. I know they make all kinds of adapters to get it to npt threads.

Well.... if there was, people wouldn't tap the housing. That is the best place for a sensor. Get out your drill.

Here this may or may not help. Although, you have a tendency not to listen to Sam.....

Again, I'm not sure why you would insinuate why I don't listen to Sam. I have contacted him on several occasions and value his opinion and insight.

Also, just because you don't know where to look, doesn't mean something doesn't exist. For instance, just one kit on Amazon: Includes 5 Brass Adapters: 1/8 Inch - 27 NPT to (M10x1, M12x1.5, M14x1.5, M16x1.5 and 1/8 - 28 BSP. I believe someone mentioned at one point it was British threads, which is the BSP. I prefer to work smart, not hard, when possible.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
