Schrader air gauges

1 Attachment(s)

I acquired a few of these old gauges and one works. two have the little leather pouches. One end with the nozzle screws off. Can you just squirt a little 3in1 oil in there to get it working?

When I purchased my pickup truck there was three cigarette steel boxes under the seat each with a collection of air gauges in them. Some with pouches and some without.

Re: Schrader air gauges

I am asking for any pointers to get them working. Has anyone taken one apart?

Re: Schrader air gauges

To try to answer your question, the nozzle can be unscrewed to show seals. These would need replacing after 85yrs if that is possible. Doubt any CRC [ 3 in 1] will make it work.
Like everyone else here, I have a couple of these & they do not work ; the US gauge dial type usually work OK for a working one.
Good luck
