Stronger Guide Assembly For Oil Level Gauge Used On Caterpillar-Built Engines In Massey-Ferguson Tractors

Usage:

Description of Change: A new guide assembly for the oil level gauge is used on 3208 Industrial Engines for Massey-Ferguson Tractors. It is also a part of a new oil level gauge changeover group for all of the above engines. The new guide assembly has a stronger bracket welded to the guide.
