1655 Diesel

[tstru]

Recently purchased a 1655...now the fun begins. I have 2 questions. Thee 55 series has always been my favorite. Especially liked the steering column and dash. On this 1655 it is like the 50 series in black. It is not like the 1855 I have. Can someone tell me if this is correct. Did the 1655 keep the old style dash?

Also, the 2 front side panels are missing. The ones that bolt to the grill. Does anyone know where I could find these? Also looking for the White small side strips that bolted to the side panels. Found the decal supplier, know for the parts.

Thanks.

Here's a picture of the dash on my 1655 diesel.
It's the original dash.However I added a couple of things so look and try to tell me what they are!

Added a presure guage and red light. Removed woodgrain from upper dash, two screws from lower dash and one fuse missing.

Red lamp to indicate the key is ON?

Another pressure gauge for fuel?

Yeah, the 1755 and up had the new WFE dash and platform. The 1655 and 1555 were the same as the 50 series with the addition of a 55 grill and hood trim.

The pressure gauge is transmission oil pressure.
The red light is an oil light for added warning of low oil pressure. It comes on around 15 psi. I told my family if it comes on and the rpms are above 1500 to PARK it.I have since replaced that light with one from a 1600 Oliver that looks more original. The fuse hole never had a fuse holder in it it was just a blind plug.If was for hydraelectric system. I used to have a little ignition indicator light in there until I put the larger light in. Ya'll didn't catch the 17-2255 oil pressure gauge (0-80). My old one 0-50 was stuck on 10 psi with engine off. Probably because the gauge would peg out at 50 for several minutes until the oil warmed up. Now it goes to 75 until the oil warms and stays around 40 at rated rpm hot.
TSTRU your best bet will be a tractor salvage yard.

Good idea on the low oil pressure warning light! Where are you checking the transmission oil pressure?

My 1750 has an original engine oil pressure gauge that goes to 80psi. It is a late 1750 though. Usually goes to 60, then hangs around 40-45 like yours does.
