Temp gauge on C?

I got a new dash to replace the rusted one on my "C" that has the hole cut out for a temp gauge. It would be great to have a temp gauge, but I can't find a place to put the sending unit. No plugged holes in the water jacket that I can find. I think the tractor is a 48. It had a ser# tag on it when I first got it 10 years ago, but sometime during it's wait for an engine up in the pasture, someone lifted the tag. I should have been paying more attention at the last couple of steam and gas shows I went to, but didn't know I would need a dash then. I only saw how bad the rust was when I pulled the tank and battery box a couple of weeks ago. Any ideas on where to put the sender are appreciated.

I concur -- the flat spot on the water elbow is where you can drill and tap for a temp sender. I did that on my '50 C project last year...installed an electric temp sender as part of a larger instrumentation setup. If you need pics or other info, feel free to email.

Yeah, what Gary said. The place for the sender is a flat spot on top of the lower elbow.

If the tractor happens to have a water pump (few did) the sender is up in the upper elbow, below the thermostat.

Normally, the gas model C's didn't come with temp. gauges.
The sender goes in the lower metal neck bolted on the engine where the radiator hose connects.
You either need to get one with a hole already drilled and tapped or drill and tap it yourself.
If you look at it, kinda on the bottom if I remember correct, is a flat place where the hole is suppose to go for the sender.
