Ebay gauges for JD-B?

Getting ready to get a gauge set for my 1950 B. There are white face gauges with Deere name on them on Ebay, anyone have any luck with them? Did the original oil pressure gauge have red "stop" printed on it? Made in India.

I just put a made in India water temp gauge on my B and it does seem to work okay. I tested it in boiling water and it read 200. I think water boils at around 212 so it may be reading about 10 low, but I can live with it. Maybe I got lucky but we'll see how long it lasts.

Buying those gauges is probably a hit or miss. I know a guy that has those gauges on an AR and the oil pressure gauge reads low all the time.
 
Only one's to buy.

I got my gages from a woman down in Virginia for my JD L/Hercules engine. It was just the right oil gage that went with the L.
 
I did purchase an India temp gauge. It read hot from day one. Always above mid gauge even though temp OK. After about 6 months would go to red about 10 min after started tractor and stay there. Within a year it showed above normal temp when tractor was cold. They are worth what they cost. Basically scrap.
 

Don't buy those junk Indian gauges...i bought a set on eBay, took forever to get them and they were junk. Cost as much to ship back as I paid for them, threw them away, bought new gauges made in USA.
