Add temp gauge to 9n

[First9n]

How have ya'll gone about adding a temp gauge to your 9N's?

You're going to get a lot of comments about not needing on.
I disagree.
When mowing tall grass or weedy, seedy fields, the temp gauge is very handy indicator that it's time to blow out radiator fins.

I'll second the recommendation from Harry. I put one on my 2N and am glad. Used an aftermarket adapter in the top hose for the sender, ended up bolting the gauge on a bracket I mounted on the aft face of the tool box lol - didn't have a hole saw for the dash and preferred not to put another hole in it anyway.

PS: if you're lucky enough and someone replaced the head with one from an 8N, there's a flat spot on a boss at the front end of the left side of it that can be drilled and tapped for a sender. It's a better location than the hose, but the hose thing still works well.
