Hi there. I have a Massey 165 diesel that I just bought recently that has a nonfunctioning fuel gauge (or at least is the wrong one for the sending unit.). I have determined that the sending unit works, and has a range of 30 ohms between empty and full, but the gauge won't read it or move at all when hooked up. I can, however, get the needle on the gauge to jump to full by shorting it out with a hot wire, which (I think) tells me that the gauge works but is simply the wrong one for the sending unit.
The next step seems to be to order a new fuel gauge, but every dealer can only match a gauge to the serial number on the tractor, and not to the ohm range on the sending unit. So, the question I have is whether the 30 ohm sending unit is original on the tractor, before I go potentially waste money on the same gauge I already have on it.
After doing some research (including on here - thank you!) I believe that a 30 ohm sending unit is the original part for some 165's, but does anyone know how to find out whether it's the original one for my tractor? My serial # is 9A 49695 which I believe makes it a 1968 model.
