Trans temp. If you have a Options Panel you could modify the face plate or make a face plate for the rest of your gauges. A crafty guy like you could build an enclosed Options Panel and add a tailored faceplate to suite your needs.
Try this guy. He hauled my M1083A1 out of Chambersburg to south central NYS. Justin Bixby (607) 765-0499.

Have someone ‘yank’ the steering left & right quickly / rapidly, in short jerky movements. Look at the idler arm (and pitman arm & tie rod ends) to see if there any movement. Sometimes the castle nut loosens up and...
I would not recommend that technique. At worse, I would try to dissolve & ‘blow off’ the grease with a Brake-Kleen type product. But grease or oil seeps in to the brake shoe material pretty deep and there’s no way to get it all out. Separation from swelling or contracting is pretty likely and...
