1954 TO30 Stewart Warner Gauges, Correct Ones???

Well, as I continue to pick up replacement parts for my TO30, I think I have decided to go with the high quality Stewart Warner gauges, given how many problems I have had with the restoration gauges I have had on my early Fords, not waterproof, wrong fittings, etc. So, does anyone have the correct part numbers for the SW gauges including water temp, ammeter, oil pressure, and hour meter? There is a tech page on FENA website that mentions the SW gauges, but does not give the parts numbers. As always, thanks to all, Larry.
 
I don't know for a fact, but I suspect SW has not made the original gauges
for many years. You can try to find them but...

You might find some SW brand, but no guarantee they would be the same
quality or look as the original. Marine gauges are more shock and water
resistant than automotive gauges, but the tractormeter is specific to
tractors, so no substituting that.

The surest way to get original gauges is to find old original gauges and
have them restored. There are companies that restore them to like new! Don't
know how the do it but they do!
 
I kind of like #82207 but it probably is not correct at all. 0 to 50 lbs is what sold me.

Thanks for the info and suggestions. My existing gauges are all older crummy replacements, none are original to the tractor, and as this now has an Alternator, there will be no Tractormeter. I will look around for some original used ones, but as this is not going to be a museum grade restoration, I just need ones that are chrome ring, black face with white lettering, and that really work. I like to know the actual temp in degrees. I had not thought of the marine gauges, but will look into that as they will certainly be waterproof and more shock resistant. For the most part, I can use the existing gauge fittings. Thanks, Larry.
 
Do some looking. You probably can find an alt with a cable drive on the rear.
Your next problems possibly being gear reduction and pulley size.
Then again that's why the electric tachometer is good for verification.
 
If you ae going to sub a tach for the tractormeter, be sure it is a low RPM tach. Those are hard to find, most are in the 6000 range, useless for an engine operating at 1500 RPM.
 
No, I don't really need a tach. I managed without them on my 9ns and 2ns. What I do for each tractor is I have a remote hand held tach. I put the reflective strip on a radiator fan blade and then move the throttle through its range and check on the rpms. After I do that once or twice, I can generally tell from each engine noise and vibration about what the rpms are. With the early fords, once you set the timing, that is generally OK. I will want to add a simple hour meter, however, if I do need to change out the existing alt in the future, I will look for one that has the rear drive gear. Thanks all. P.S. Will be going with the "Standard" Stewart Warner gauges, they are not really that expensive, and the ones I need are 82207, 82210, and 82200. Not exactly original to Ferguson, but quite similar and good enough for me.

I like the hand-held tach idea. That said, are the crankshaft and water pump pulleys the same size on a TO-30? I don't think the are on my TEA-20 so I would either have to do some math or put the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley somehow.

Hi Steve. Older thread, but any idea who restores old gauges?
