Need to replace the original Oil Pressure gauge on this '40 B. It's pretty weathered and rusted inside. Are the $25-$30 after-market ones made in the orient reliable or should I stay away from those?
Thanks,
Bob

Two issues here -- One is do you want to go with a gauge like was on the tractor in the beginning , and secondly -- is a reliable source, someone who will stand behind the product.

Also -- If you are out to save $30, go with the $30 gauge! Otherwise you buy a decent one and you will pay $50 to $60!

My recommendation is to make contact with Jerry Trcka of Evergreen Restoration and buy one that will outlast both you and the tractor, and get a gauge that looks like the orignal one did! (715) 635-8629. See his ad on page 45 of October Green Magazine.

On page 11 of October Green Magazine, you can see two gauges bought from Jerry. (PatB)

Thanks for the input. I do want to replicate the original white faced gauge and I don't want take a chance on ruining the engine just to save $30. JD wants $56 for theirs - I'll look into your source.

Bob -- I forgot earlier, but if you want some added background on gauges, both font & face color, go to the JD-H Restoration site (below), scan over to ARTICLES 1, and then from the drop-downs, select GAUGES. While the piece was written for JD-H gauges, other JD tractors were changing during these times as well. If you purchase from Deere, be sure the gauge you receive goes with your JD-B. This is where Jerry comes in. He has researched these items and can talk with authority to you about them. (PatB)
