Rob, in our technical department, recently found a document that provides really good troubleshooting information on antique tractor gauges. This pdf will explain the basic types of gauges and how they function. It also includes some detailed information on how to troubleshoot the various types of tractor gauges.
Collectors of many brands of antique tractors will find this useful. It is not exclusive to any one brand of antique tractor. We will be linking this blog to our tractor gauges listed under Allis Chalmers, Case, Ford, IH – Farmall, John Deere, Oliver and Minneapolis Moline.
If you are having any issues with your gauges either before or after buying new tractor gauges, you will find this document helpful.
Have any other information to share with other tractor hobbyists? Share it in the comments.

Barry,
These items are special order. The rod bearings are available in .020 or .030 under $21.00 per rod. The .020 main bearing is available in set only $200.00 + ups in. I need to know the bore size for availability of rims. No pistons available.
We carry the following parts for the U MM manifold:
exhaust = MMS001
intake = MMS013
heat riser = MMS002
Thank you,
JR
gasket = MMS001GK
