A small metal box and a light bulb and a lot of time.
The temperature has to be kept elevated over a long period to drive out the moisture. If you can wait 'til summer, you can put them in the attic of your house for a while. The only fast way is to put them in a vacuum chamber, which will suck out the moisture as a gas. |

Try the cell phone trick , throw it in a big bag of dry rice. heating it with a dryer will turn it into steam saturating it inside completely .

When I lived in Fl. and owned a boat moisture in the gauges was a common problem. You can leave them face down in a warm place like over a small light bulb for a period of time and they will dry out. Check and see if the gauge has any opening in the back because that's where the moisture will exit. If it doesn't then it will have to exit via the front glass seal and will take much longer. If you have access to a very tiny drill bit you could drill a tiny hole in the back and when it is dry put a small amount of silicone in the hole. My current oil pressure gauge gets water in it if it sits out in the rain for a few days but then when the sun comes out it drys up.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
