Hi Richard,
standard Cat gauges are usually male 1/8" NTP. The fitting to go on the gauge stub is usually a 90# elbow P/No 3B9001 or a straight coupling 3B8989, depending on the application, they both have a replaceable 1F1344 nut ( incorperates the olive or purchase a new olive) to convert to 1/4" copper tube.
Seems your engine has come from a 5M 112 Motor Grader.
Looked thru my lit. and cannot find the P/No fitting you have mentioned so cannot help further. Someone else may have something to add for you.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Eddie B.
Richard, how are you getting on with the bit of "fettling" to the D4, I hope things are going well??, do you think it will be all back together before you head off back to the office, if you get sick of it or bored, I will pop down and screw it up together for you.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
