[Farmall] A McCormick Deering in need of help

[Bob Currie]

Mike, I've emailed with those folks a couple of times now trying to help 
them with parts resources, paint formulas and so forth. They have a good 
looking tractor there and except for a cracked block, I think it will be a 
nice restoration. And as long as we are talking McCormick 10-20s, I have a 
mid 20's orchard 10-20 that I'm working on right now, and have need for a 
good, useable oil pressure gauge, part #16924H or 10855VA. The same gauge 
fits 10-20, 15-30, W-30, or I-30..thanks
