Mike, Good work, the temps are really low compared with my (liquid) oil in the Briggs Intek. Interesting ... What gun brand are you using in case any of us try what you did? It is always possible that electric driven sensors (like my Beedee) can vary with (tractor) input voltages, heat and even calibration. I did find that a DVM probe of sump oil was 10 degrees cooler than the Beedee gauge once. This is also analog dial (Beedee) vs digital DVM readouts.
Precisely why we (?) should be posting methods, despite the extra work.
I am going to use both gun and transducer type sensing. When I get me gun, I
am well away (remote) from markets. I will use what I have for now.
Will we find that the Kohler runs cooler??? Even ? assembled in China?? They do make motorcycles and lots of cars.
Over the India experience the Chinese at least follow some industry standard, albeit
they are known to steal the info at the design phase :}
Edit. Just refreshed that you run a zero turn and I run a big box special. Cynical thought, are riders simply designed to burn up and rebuy...naaw, they wouldn't do that , would they?
Heh.... I feel a solid class action coming on. Cashed up residents are getting into
tractor and ZTR rides in droves. The units are not priced at gumball (limited chew)
levels, they are a significant investment and sold (promoted) as such. To have a
dealer tell you your machine is "worn out" at four years old and less than 300 hours
of real work - in offering a trade up - is *fskn* insulting.... to your intelligence and the
manufacturing industry per se.
Then again, when I look at just how Kawa put together their rocker cradle I am pushed
to consider your cynicism very seriously as being the actual fact of the matter.
I digress.....
