I have a 1965 Owatonna Mustang Series 1000 Skidsteer that I've had since 1988. The hydraulic gauge has never worked and is long since rusted over. Just wondering if anyone knows what hydraulic pressure these small skidsteers run at so I can buy a gauge that has the right range. Thanks, Bill

I would think a 3000 psi will be ok ,I would think that those systems do run not over 2500 psi. My old 500 bobcat unknown year ran 2250 psi.

Actually I think that guage is filter restriction so it shows when your hyd pump
is drawing a negative pressure thru the filter indicating time to replace

Thank you. When I got the machine in 1988 the glass was broken and it was badly rusted so I had no idea what it was or did. My parts book has an old part number that just says "hydraulic gauge" so that didn't help much.
