3000 dash board

[47fivewindow]

I had the wrong alternator, the drive was gone and the gas level sending unit is bad. I don’t need the tach or fuel gauge. I had an abandoned boat on the property so I used the gages and sending units. It’s not correct but I’m happy.

Nice set up. As long as you have oil pressure, and acceptable temperature, the rest can wait. I love it when I can complete a project without buying anything new! What does the black toggle switch do?

What does the black toggle switch do?

According to the label, it does it ALL.

Head lights or headlines and rear flashing lights

The instrument gauge package that's on most '63 on (for some distance) is for sale on ebay for a very good price. I bought a CIH 395 a couple of years ago and the dash was electronic and shot. I replaced it with a Ford mentioned, added some sheet metal and black rattle can paint and have a reliable, pretty decent looking installation. The RPM gear arrangement wasn't exact so I got a tachometer, ran the RPMs up until they hit 540 PTO, made a mark on the new panel dash and I'm good to go.

On the steering wheel in the picture, ebay sells them too and not all that expensive...would make a nice addition to your new dash installation.

A new steering wheel and some paint is in the plan. Next job is replacing the pto seal.

PTO seal is a walk in the park. On my Fords it comes out with the housing you unbolt that is around the shaft. If you are worried about loosing a lot of oil, find a serious sloped area.....45* is a good number and head the tractor nose down.
