[AT] Oil Gauge

[Paul Waugh]

Hi Ben
It depends on how original you want to keep it.  You might try Steiner 
Tractor Parts http://www.steinertractor.com/ . I have learned a lot more 
about my tractors when I go to a swap meet and search for parts.   Portland 
is coming up :)) After a while you get pretty good at recognizing your part 
in a pile of parts. Something like an oil gauge should not be too hard to 
find and it keeps it original.
my 2 cents
