[AT] Engine Temp Gauges

[cecil bearden]

Well, the older ones were sorta like the weather prediction rock....  If it 
is wet its raining, if it is dry its not.  If the radiator is boiling it is 
hot, if it is not, it probably is ok...   I used to go to the field on the 
old ones with 5 gallons of gas and 2 gallons of water for the tractor
