dead amp gauge
My tractor sat unused for a few months while I recovered from eye surgery. The battery went dead, no surprise as it was on it's last legs anyway. I noticed after I removed the battery that the gauge was pegged on full charge - with the battery removed
I just installed a new battery and the gauge is still pegged. I assume I need to replace the gauge but any ideas as to why the gauge is pegged? especially when the battery was disconnected ?? The gauge worked normally the last time I used the tractor.

If its a moving coil ammeter, maybe the return spring is hung up on an obstruction. Try tapping side of ammeter.

I hadn't thought of that
Tapping on the gauge [even from the underside] would be a lot easier than removing the nuts that hold it in place as it would all have to be done by feel. thanks
