    New Proof Meter not working

    I removed the cable from behind the meter while the tractor was running as one suggested. The shaft did not turn so more than likely the shaft is broken inside the cable somewhere.

    New Proof Meter not working

    Sorry to hear that. Parts are all aftermarket on these old tractors. Even from reputable sources.

    New Proof Meter not working

    Thanks for the info. Would you happen to know if that would be counter clockwise, or clockwise looking at the rear of the meter ?

    New Proof Meter not working

    I replaced my proof meter in my 51 8N due to the face was hardly readable from all the years. Cable threaded on the back screwed on just fine. Is it possible the rod inside has broken ? Appreciate all comments. TIA

    Getting ready to re-wire my 51, 8N, 6V system with the exception of the lights. And no, I'm not going to convert over to 12V. The previous owner has placed butt splices throughout.
