Lx885 Low Oil Pressure Hydrostatic Charge Light On, Fixed!

[busted_knuckles]

This might save someone some time, the other day Im moving poop, and on the EIC, #7 lights up, beeping, 30 seconds later, Im shut down. Checked my oil temp, 90 degrees. I limp it back to the barn. Next day same thing, runs about 5 minutes, shuts down, now it does it every time I try to use it.
So I go the stealership today, plunk down $44, because its cheaper and quicker for me to throw a part at it, then diagnosis it. Im not lazy, and like things fixed right, but Ive got a truck load of hay to move and stack (before it gets rained on), plus daily loader duties, I aint got the time for reindeer games, anyhow, the bet worked out, I changed out the pressure switch, ran her hot and heavy and it does not go back into shut down, What I did find interesting, my rural NH dealer, had 10 on hand!(there is a clue in there), so if this happens to you, dont freak, go get the newer/updated sensor, and see if that does not get you back to work!
I should mention, Ive got a low hour machine (1400hrs) and its over maintanined, so I really didnt think I was having a hydro melt down, not to mention the machine performs flawlessy.
Good luck and take care, Bill

There seems to be quite a few of these going bad lately. I know of at least 3 others that have had issues on the forum with charge pressure senders. I have had 2 that leaked, i have an engine oil one on a machine i'm about to work on that leaks too. They just don't seem to last.... I even had one that was brand new, lasted maybe 20 hours (not genuine though).
