Product Overview
An unreadable gauge leaves you guessing whether an older Ford is warming normally or heading toward an overheat. Replace it when the needle sticks, the capillary tube is damaged, or the face can no longer be read.
This mechanical temperature gauge cross-references C3NN18287A and FAD10883A. Early 9N, 2N, and 8N applications require an added adapter-tube conversion and are not a simple factory-hole installation.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Model, production date, serial number, dimensions, electrical or mounting configuration, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the removed part and equipment information before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this bolt directly into a Ford 8N? A: The published application requires a separate adapter-tube conversion. Confirm the tractor has the needed port and adapter before ordering.
Q: Can the capillary tube be shortened? A: No. It is part of the sealed gauge assembly and must not be cut.
Q: How do I confirm fitment before ordering? A: Match the original reference number, equipment model and serial number, dimensions, connector or mounting details, and the product photos. Do not rely on appearance alone.
Q: Is this made by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and model numbers are used only to identify compatible equipment.
