 How much pressure is the most seen on a traction booster gauge? Mine doesn't work and I would like to put one it just for looks but I don't want to put one to small on.
 
Happy Halloween everyone.
 
PS
My first cousin just had a mountain of rolls of hay on fire I sure hope it wasn't spooks.

I believe the older tractors  ( Eg. WD  and WD45 ) were capable of 3500 psi.
 
So I would use a gauge capable of 5000 to 6000 psi.

Between $150 and $200 will get you a restored and working T.B. gauge. A non functioning cosmetic restored gauge will run about $75. I got a working one from one of the Norms that post here. I think it was Norm Meinert. Can't remember for sure now.

You can also buy a 5000 lbs gauge for about $8 that will work but will show PSI and doesn't say Allis on it.

At your prices quoted, I am sure you will sell a lot with "No Core".

I restore the Traction Booster gauges also.  $150 for the working with core exchange and also have the no-working ones for $75 with core exchange.  Customer pays shipping.
