Unfortunately, a lot of those types of gauges (with mfr logo) are aftermarket from China, Singapore, etc. which you've probably already researched. Even some of the "better" aftermarket gauges get made over sea's. Its tough to find a good USA made gauge out there unless you move to a racing or high perf. gauge. Norm Mienert I think used to carry some USA gauges for Allis-Chalmers. Might want to check with the new owners on that, that advertise out front. We carry some AC gauges, but they are mostly aftermarket like mentioned above, or racing type gauges for our Streetrod and Muscle Car folks. We do have some Stewart Warner amp gauges yet, but DO NOT have the AC logo on them.... HTH Happy 4th!

Man you hit the nail on the head. I just want an oil pressure gauge for my Cub Cadet. Aftermarket would be easy. Never thought Brand specific would be such a pain.

I ordered a gauge for one of my tractors. I only ordered one. The supplier sent me three gauges and a brief note hoping one of the three would work. All were new in the box. I didn't install any of them. You can't make this stuff up.

We have the original US made mechanical Rochester gauges with the proper logo and printing for most all of the Allis-Chalmers tractors. That really does not help you for cub cadet though. I may have some ideas for you though. I'll send you a PM.

Thanks,I'd bet it's the same gauge except for the face. I've actually gotten IH parts from vendors on here when the IH vendors said "Huh?".

I think it may actually be, as IH used a lot of Rochester gauges. Most of theirs were black background with white letters. I would be more than happy to sell you an AC oil pressure gauge... just watch out for the correct police...lol

I ordered mine from stiener it works and looks like the rest of the gauges. My 190 only had a light so I put a oil pressure guage in where the useless traction booster guage was. It has the same face color and markings as the other gauges . It was probably a China guage I did look just put it in the hole it fitt like it belonged there.

This Cub has a Magnum 18 (pressurized oil system and filter) upgrade. There's a port right above to the oil filter to plumb in a fitting and then a straight shot to the dash where the hour clock is(was). Kohler wants $150.00-175.00 for a gauge kit! I thought this would be simple. If a 620 or 720 falls into my lap you may hear me.

If yer' lookin' for a 620 or 720, I have a 620 here that needs quite a bit of work, but is a great start for a project Tractor. Needs a hood. The rest of the sheetmetal is nice. Has the Onan engine/drivetrain in it. Parts missing off the engine. $500. takes it... Has a mule drive hangin' under it to.

Nope . New Jerseys not exactly in my lap. Besides after field dressing and filleting this Cadet and reverse engineering it I've had enough for a little while. But thanks for the offer.
