[AT] Engine Temp Gauges

[Mike Sloane]

I have a very early (stage I?) "Louisville" Super M that has both disk 
brakes and a "Transmission driven Lift-All" (i.e. "belly pump"). I have 
been told that IH production managers liked to use up whatever parts 
they had on hand before starting to install newer pieces. I finally got 
rid of the belly pump, but I discovered that there was more than one 
engine driven hydraulic pump for the Super M (don't ask me how I found 
this out), and the one I needed was actually one intended for later 
versions of the M. This tractor also has the battery mounted under the 
hood/tank and the older style seat (and getting the battery in or out or 
even checking the level is a real pain). Adding to my problems with 
getting parts is the fact that the serial number tag is long gone.
