Who makes the best gauges for H's and M's? I got one set
from Stiener and wasn't overly impressed. The needles seem
to wiggle a lot while its running. Would like to keep the old IHC
logo if I can. I know nos is the answer but I haven't turned any
up
 

I've been disappointed with the CaseIH temp gauges I've tried lately. I've had the first two die in just a few hours and the 3rd one isn't accurate. I decided to try some gauges made by a Farmall fanatic in the Netherlands that makes gauges for a living. I haven't received them yet, but the price is cheaper than the CaseIH gauge from the dealer and he says his are accurate +/- 2 degrees versus the other gauges available. If you are interested he can be reached at [email protected]

yes me also, I have got three from stieners already and all have failed and they sent me out replacements.
problem is they are made in tiawon. one lasted about 15 minutes. till tractor warmed up and then I watched the needle just move to the cold side. on another one the needle jumps around and is loose.they sent me out some better ones and are ok for now.
send them back for warranty! have to let those manufactures know they are junk.
 
This is sad, sad, sad.

I am well into the restoration of my 1948 Farmall H, and will be needing new gauges, radiator, and other components. Most all I have heard over the past few months is poor quality of new reproduction parts.

Take heart though! I work in manufacturing as a tool and diemaker/machinist, and the talk going around now is of "in-shoring". There have been articles in several of the trade publications such as Modern Machinist about many manufacturing jobs starting to trickle back to the U.S. One of the big reasons is the shoddy workmanship U.S. producers are encountering when off-shoring production.

It will take awhile, but keep sending those defective parts back, and scream loudly! The sellers of these components, most of them anyway, really do not like selling crap. Steiner, RusticRedAcres, and about all the others, don't want their reputations sullied by bad goods. If the demand is there, and the customer shouts for good quality, the suppliers will respond. And if that means making the parts here again, you can bet they will.

I went through 3 fuel gauges from Stieners for a JD 730 before I got smart and put on push on connectors. The gauge studs were mounted in PLASTIC!!!! Every time I put the wire on, the stud turned and there went the gauge!! Tom, the guy in parts, told me they have to try to make items competitive!!?? I would NOT buy another gauge from them ever!! He warrantied one but by the time we spent $80.00 for two, we could have bought an original from JD for $110.00.
 
I put in all three gauges in all three of my H's and M from OEM Tractor Parts. So far, I did replace one of the ammeters that quit registering but then I have an alternator on that tractor and of course it puts out a lot more than those gauges are rated for. I went with a ammeter for a 66 series IH tractor which does not look like original equipment either but it is made for higher amperage.
This was about six years ago but they don't get run very much, just fooling around pulling tree stumps etc. They do look nice though if that means anything. Original IH or IHC depending on year of tractor.
 
For the Super C I restored five years or so ago I got all of the gauges from OEM which were at the time at least made for them by Rochester Gauge Co. who was the original gauge manufacturer when the tractor was built in 1953. As far as I know they all work fine as the readings are what I would expect and they always seem to read as you would expect. I am presently restoring a Farmall 240 and I was able to find all NOS IHC correct gauges for that tractor. It took some time but I think I'll be happy with them as well. I have placed wanted ads both on this site and using paid want ads in the Red Power Magazine and have been very successful in finding NOS parts for the most part, Hal.
 
I just installed one of their oil pressure gauges.It 'pegged' the gauge on the first fireing.It is now stuck at the extreme right side of the gauge.Junk.
 
O.E.M. tractor parts gauages are made by Rochester Gauages. They have plants in Belguim Mexico and Dallas,Texas. I have used there gauage with no problems so far.
 
OEM does have the original style IH or IHC on their reproduction gauges. Like I said, they look nice , like original but I won"t vouch for their quality.
 

Well, that is not good. I was just curious as have seen a few lower pressure gauges for diesel installed and that will pin the needle pretty hard on a gasoline tractor.
