Dan, if you had one of those switchable resistor boxes (say 1 to a few hundred ohms) you could probably come up with the correct sender value. At low to near zero resistance the gauge should full needle deflect but then keep trying different higher resistance (perhaps 30 to 200) until it just barely deflects (i.e. on the other side). If the resistance is too high it wont move at all but the correct size (on the high end) will make it defelect just a little. Many simple senders are in the 0 to 30 or 0 to to 200 or so ohms range, so use a switchable box until you find the resistance range to make the needle swing side to side without overdriving it either way. NOTE this is for the older 2 wire gauges, some newer 3 wire gauges in order to draw less current had sort of like a center tapped ground with two internal resistors that nulled out

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
