Oh, the shame and degradation ! Been through it for 12 volt conversion and non-stock lights. Calumny of the worst sort is your fate ! (depends on who is looking) Enjoy your machine.

Mike!!! You should know better than to post incriminating statements on a public forum! Your only hope now is to post a rescinding statement that you were just confused and thought it was April Fools Day!
If not, I'll send you my request for a personalized liscence plate since I know you'll be involved in the production of such in short order...

Oh, and by the way, as they're leading you away in cuffs(telling you not to bump your head on the squad car, etc etc) please tell them not to look at the Stewart Warner oil pressure guage I have on my 650....

I met a guy tonight who painted his 41 H John deere green and yellow... kinda surprised he hasn't been lynched yet.
Said he had trouble deciding between a Farmall or a JD so he bought one and painted it like the other. :lol:

Mike, in all my years of being around Farmalls, I've never seen an IH oil pressure gauge with red face. All of them I have seen have either dark gray or black faces. My philosophy on gauges is that either you get the authentic reproductions, which are rather pricey, or you go with a very reasonable priced "generic" gauge that will get the job done.
I used a set of Harbor Freight gauges on mine. $14.99 on sale for $9.99 plus a 20% coupon for a grand total of $7.99 plus tax.
Other than finding the right combination of fittings to hook up the oil pressure gauge, which I found at Home Depot, they fit and work just like OEM.
Odds are they are the exact same gauges made in the exact same factory. I've looked at many gauge sets at auto parts stores and elsewhere, and they are all the same. The difference is you pay $100 for the IH logo.

I've put non-stock/non-original on my tractor for years. It gets the job done and that's what I'm after. I'm always happy to let the fellas that want to replace my parts with the "correct" stuff to do it. No one has sunk a single penny in bringing it back to original. My tractor, my choice. Your tractor, your choice.

It is my understanding that an infraction that requires the police to actually get up on your tractor to find, comes under the category of "Willfully Concealed" which of course carries a heavier mandatory sentence than an infraction that can be seen from the ground without bending over. You may be facing worse punishment than you think.

"Will the cuffs hurt my wrists?" well I hope so, you stupid pansy as_.
Ahh, being it is the first offense this board is aware of; (whispered---and seeing I have this personal special interest project I would like to see completed at my place) - in your case, I am willing to reduce any board punishment to a sentence of community service. Mainly, labor to construct a pole building for my, er,... ahh,... a community showplace for IH tractors and implements.
I looked at this sites parts and at OEM and found no gauges w/dark gray backgrounds. Black is all with some of OEM's gauges appearing to have dark gray for the 'display' of pressure area.
The 'intent to conceal' issue does raise a good point. I think if it is offered, you should serve your time here in Wisconsin and SOON, I have seen snow flakes falling in September.

No, sorry, I didn't do well describing it. It's got a black face with the white slash for the actual readout, but on the left side it has about a quarter of that slash painted red, instead of gray.
Here's a picture. I'm told where you see red, there should be gray for a pre-46 tractor.

They were red forever someone must have seen one that was faded and thought it was gray.

Background was also black but over time it too does fade there is a difference in the I-H logo over the yrs.

Mike, the red area is correct, but the gray, or white area is supposed to be green. Also, a genuine reproduction will also include the IH part number in very fine, white print along the lower, left hand curvature of the face. I have seen those gauges that you are looking at. They are a very poor, chinese knock off, and the "correct" police will not be fooled.

What you do in that case, Mike, is to tear off a piece of blue painter's about an inch long and stick it on the side of the hood about a foot from the gauge in question. Then walk away and watch people looking at your tractor at shows stare at the piece of tape and wonder why it is there. They completely miss the red gauge and you may avoid jail time!

My mom worked for Stewart Warner in the 2nd WW so it is either betray the mom's heritage, or IH originality. I don't live with mom, and the tractor doesn't care. Google IHC logos. Jim

...See the gray? That's why I'm going to jail.
That's black and white...that's why it looks gray
Man, you kids that never had a black and white tv!This is the logo I am refering to. I thought they didn't have the tractor logo until rather late in the letter series (IIRC I read it in one of Guy Fays books)
How about now -

(quoted from post at 13:57:46 09/23/10) It might be you. They look the same as the set that's sold by OEM.

Actually, the logo on the oil pressure gauge looks exactly like the logo on a pair of original oil pressure gauges I have in my spare parts cabinet. I won't comment on the "gray", because both of mine have faded out to the point of being totally white across the entire band, but I still think the "gray" area in question is supposed to be red, and the remainder of the band is supposed to be green.
The logo on the ammeter as well as the logo on the temp gauge in your picture is different from from the logo on the oil gauge, and neither of them look "correct" to me.

Give credit to the super-sleuths that had the 'eye' for the logo. I searched the net and found this crappy IH with the 'close to copyright symbol' style C as the norm. I don't like it either. I don't know however, when the neat old IHC as in International Harvester Collector's Club style logo as is used by clubs and the RPRU folks use, was replaced by the IH as my 340's and 460 have. Maybe you won't be wearing pink undies, eating baloney sandwiches and befriending Bubba; ya, he probably has more friends already than they want.
Bububu...but...OEM is ALWAYS right and they NEVER sell anything that isn't a perfect reproduction or they tell you right in the print :lol: :roll: :shock:
I couldn't get a good picture of my 1949 MD, but one of the gauges is the old IHC logo and one is the new one. My 45 H does not have the old style IHC gauges in either position. I would attribute this to replacement more than IH using different gauges esp since they are in various stages of weathering.
