The guages are a pretty tough subject at the moment.. Here is some info about the guages that are currently on the market.. Antique guages-- plastic face, they don't look right (not produced to scale or right position), plastic indicator, the oil guage is not the right pressure and needs an adapter, they really just don't look right.. OEM guages (out of bloomington IL) -- I think these are the same one that C&G sell.. These are a nice guage.. they have a glass face, look right with the exception of the IHC marked guage.. What OEM did on the IHC guage, was they just took an IH guage and put a C around the IH.. if you know what the original looks like you will understand that this isn't original, because the IHC is in one solid script(I will post what one should look like if anyone is interested) I really don't know what Case IH sells, but the last time I checked they only made the IH style guages that were used on maybe the 400/450 series on up?? I am not sure, but someone could probably tell that story better.. I guess if you need the IH guages you should use the OEM guages, but as far as IHC guages are concerned I would suggest using a NOS or good used IHC oil guage (I do have 1 NOS IHC oil guage remaining) and suffer with the Antique Guages temperature guage.. ( have no idea why I can ususally find the F series temp guage that is NOS, but finding one for the letter series is near impossible..) just my 2 cents..
