Hey all,
Well my D will be undergoing a cosmetic resto this winter and I will be replacing the gagues. It has black face ones in it now. Im not sure if theses are original? They appear to be original but I have seen many deeres with the white faced ones. The tractor is a 1939 which style does it need and what would be a reliable place to get new ones. Thanks in advance for all the advice

Yes Brad it came with white face guages but later replacements had black face. There was time when you couldn't find NOS, good original, rebuilt, or reproduction white face guages so everyone restored them with new black face guages from JD. So did you get the D all running good now?

Thanks Mr Glen for the hints. As a follow up The D runs very good. There are a few oil leaks that I have to address and then I can start the refinishing process. It starts generally on the 4th or so pull even when it is hot. It will idle down slow enough that you can almost count the fan blades. I took it to a parade last week and folks were amazed at how a hand crank tractor of that size is started. The only bad thing is that it is not fuel friendly. Thanks again for your interest.

Brad -- There are probably a dozen recent posts on this question, but to re-answer -- white face gauges is for your tractor.

For some interesting discussion on gauges and their evolution, check out GAUGES at the JD-H Restoration Site (below). At the end of that piece you will see the name Jerry Trcka (yes - its spelled right) of Evergreen Restorations who is fast rising as the guru of JD gauges. You may elect to give him a call. (PatB)
