[AT] Gas Tank sending unit needed

[CEE VILL]

I understand why all should work correctly on a restored tractor, but this 
sure is getting complicated.  The gage on my 340U has not worked since I 
have owned it.  I think it stays on empty.  I carry a stick in the battery 
box behind the seat.  When I want to check the gas, I take off the cap, wipe 
the stick clean with my hand, and tap it into the tank to the bottom.  Then 
I pull the stick back out and look at it.  I know I am just a crude old man, 
but it sure tells me how much is left in the tank. Grin.  I know, the 
correct police would never buy into that program.
