[AT] Temperature gauge

[Dick Day]

Should be pretty easy to find I would think.  I have not had great luck with 
JD temp gauges. I restored a '52 JD 60, and replace the gauge as part of the 
original tear-down and it worked a month. The dealer replaced it and it quit 
working after a year. Replaced IT and it does not work to this day. 
Occasionally, it may jump to life but I have no idea why.

Good luck :)
