641 Fuel gauge install

[spdjnky_42]

It is a big deal to install a fuel gauge? I see that most have a place it should fit. i also see some gugae kits that include everything including a fuel gauge. My tractor doesnt have one but I would assume it was like the JD tractors where it was an option? Is the hole in the tank already, Easy to access? Room on the dash? Anyone have some pics? Thanks!

Next time you put fuel in it look to see if there is a place to mount a sender. Better yet, just upen the hood now and look.

Search on the internet for Red rock manufacturing, they make a replacement fuel cap that is also a fuel gauge.

That's my low-tech solution. Nothing to break and the cap is top center where I can see down to the bottom of the tank. If I see the metal on the bottom of the tank is dry I am out of gas!

our 641 came with fuel gauge. Someone remove it?

I put one on my 661, thought i hooked it up wrong, but i just didn't have enough gas in it haha. I made a bracket to hold
it under the dash next to the key switch.But next time, if i could find one of those gauges in the cap, i'd go that
way.You can search here for just about anything you want to do with that tractor, and chances are someone's already asked,
good luck, have fun!

I went out and checked. It has tach, oil, water, amps. The tractor is 601 on the decal, but it has all the options as a 641... Or 90%???

601 is a series of tractor models. 641 is one of the models within the series. 641 had a 4 speed transmission, 3 point lift and trans driven (non-live) PTO. All of the models in the 601 series should have had the same gauges, including a fuel gauge, except for the ones that had them deleted when they were ordered to lower the price. None of the models in the 601 series had an amp gauge, instead they had a charge indicator light. Is there a hole (might be plugged) below the amp gauge on yours?

I think that the only thing on the instrument panel that was optional was the light.

Thanks but I know how to identify the sub model. No fuel gugae, no place on tank for sender. Ammeter in dash.

What numbers are stamped into the flat area at bell-housing, left side?
You may have a Heinz57 tractor?

Hard to tell by your earlier post:
