Speaking of parts and prices:

The temperature gauge on my '51 IHC W-4 worked when I first ran the  
tractor in warm weather.  Now it does not budge.  A peek under the  
engine cover shows that there's a little tube from the gauge to a  
fitting on the block.  I assume it's a pressure driven thing that has  
some expandable fluid in a bulb in the block.

Is this a hard part to find?  If so, are there substitutes I could  
find?  Seems like it might be a part common to some decades of tractors.
