Very clever... similar to a Murphy sight level gauge. I would be concerned about the reliability of any plastic tubing and the possibility of it causing oil loss if it sprung a leak. The Murphy gauges are all metal castings with glass fronts for viewing. These are in ready supply for various industrial engines and gensets... about $50 (used) from our stocks.

I've had the urethane oil sight tube in place for 12 years. It is still neither hard nor soft, only some yellowing.  For oil or fuel it holds up well.  I just replaced the piece used as a sight tube on the 15 gallon wall mounted fuel tank...it was still fine, but had yellowed to the point where it was getting hard to read the fuel level. This despite being used with B99 fuel for several years. 

It's a different situation for tubing exposed to sunlight; my engine room is enclosed.

Nice looking cart Butch! Solid axles I presume? What kind of wood is that? We all know you are good at balancing, it will be interesting to see if the clone twin will also settle down under your ministrations!

My Ashwamegh 25/2 has huge counter weights on the crankshaft.

It also has a "dip stick" on the top of the flange for the access door.

I can provide a pic if interested.
