Yesterday I went to check out a used tractor, ran it for awhile, drove it, checked out the gears, clutches, brakes, etc. While I was driving it I was also checking the gauges and noticed the TB gauge was floating up and down, floating! Well, how about that, a weathered TB gauge in a used tractor that works, it actually works. With it floating I, after all these years, seemed to automatically, without thinking, moved the lever up and watched the gauge max out only to drive a little more and see it floating again. Story here, while seeing a TB gauge that actually worked, it did tell me of a problem in the hydraulics; leaking valve hold or bad hose to lift arms

Sorry, I tried to correct the title but couldn't, tried again this morning and it would.

No, I didn't want to buy the tractor just to get a weathered, working TB gauge.
