IIRC, something similar was on some vehicles 50+ years ago
EDIT: Just did a search, different than what I was trying to remember...

That is what I immediately thought of when I opened up the EBay ad.
The good old Motometer.

I have Motometers on both my 1919 Model T and 1931 Model A. They work ok and are better than nothing! Infrared Temperature guns are cheap now and more useful as you can take temperatures aiming them at different parts of a radiator or engine and can use them anywhere. In the house, barn, in the field etc.

Awesome idea IMHO..... but you need the right Bar/PSI along with fitment being correct. These are nearly 19psi and think that is too high for many of our machines. I may be wrong though. Don't know much about newer tractors.

Only know my old L225 is suppose to have only a 13psi cap if I remember correctly.
