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. |

Here is the water pump housing that I tapped for water temp non digital gauge. 2182-first serial number break.

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..... http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...4&postcount=22 |

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. https://www.amazon.com/9848-Pressure...NK36KTZZSS650S |

You wouldn't listen to Sam on installing the braces HE DESIGNED. Yeah.... I don't know where to look. I've been turning wrenches a long time, and I owned my own shop for 15 years. I know where to find parts. Your the one asking questions.... 1486.jpg |

I pulled the water sensor out and it is definitely 1/8". Since other people had said they thought it was british thread, and british and npt are so close they will thread together, but not seal, I'm going to guess it is bsp thread. Once I figure out what gauge package I go with, I'll get an adapter to convert the bsp to npt threads and let everyone know how it goes. Hopefully it will avoid having to retap the threads.

If you go with any mechanical gauge, you won't be able to get the temp sensor bulb into the fitting. If you go with an electronic gauge, you will likely have trouble finding a sensor for the BSP thread. If you use an adapter.... you will find that the same issue as stated above. Tapping something is inevitable. Feel free to post your findings.

Well, I bought a electric temp gauge from Amazon for $12. Pulled the old sensor and tried that with the gauge and it didn't work. The new sensor worked fine. I also checked and had some adapters that were the British BSP 1/8" thread that some people on here have said was the type of the old sensor, but I checked and checked again and my thermostat housing is the standard 1/8" NPT pipe thread. None of the 1/8" BSP threaded fittings would fit in the housing. So it was a direct fit because the gauge came with a 1/8" sending unit. No drilling and tapping required.

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.
