Can somenone inform me as to the proper location of the temp gauge and probe connection on a 1951 Super A ? When I got the tractor it was on the throttle /hydr control brace. ( line snipped) According to the owners manual this is incorrect. Also, where is the proper hookup for the probe for the temp gauge ?
Thanks !!
 
Jeff: The one I saw had the gauge almost directly over the timing gears. I didn't look close, but suspect it must have been attached by bolts that attach governor to engine. I don't have the answer on the probe, however my SA has a plug in the side of upper water port. That has to be where it goes.

Not sure why you folks get so gung ho about water temp gauges on Super A tractors. We worked these and worked them damn hard for 500-600 hours per year for 50 years with no temperature gauge. If you guys would just listen, a Super A talks to you. It will tell you when timing advance is correct. It will also tell you went it's hot, or not hot enough. It does this better than any engine I've ever been around.
 
The mounting bracket for the gauge used some of the governor mounting bolts so that it could hang out to the right side where you could see the gauge to make it useful. If you don"t have a bracket I think OEM is offering one now.

The probe would have been in the fan bracket casting that is also the outlet from the head to the radiator, on the head side of the thermostat.
 
The sender was only in the outlet elbow on tractors with water pumps, generally only on Super A1. The others had it in the inlet elbow. If the elbow isn't already drilled and tapped, there will be a blank boss for it.
 
Hugh i think they want them for pretty as you said engine wont get warm enough to register unless you have the shutters.
 
I didn't think Super A's had a engine temp gauge. Some of them did have a hydraulic temp gauge. I think the hyd. temp gauge might have been mounted up by the throttle area.

According to an original '51 Super-A owner's manual, only the distillate or kerosene burning engines had a "Heat Gauge." It was mounted on top of the timing gear case. Gasoline tractors were not regularly equipped with a temperature guage, according to the manual. The gauge on the touch control/throttle bar is the hydraulic fluid temperature indicator.
