mf240 dash indicators

[phil25]

I have a mf240, perkins diesel, made in Great Breton, mid 80's ?? dropped off for a few things needed..
And the strip across the top of the dash has a backlit set of 5 lights,
and of course i can only make out the left charge indicator, and next is the
oil pressure? the rest are just plain sun faded to nothing, not really wanting to get into wiring bundle..
can someone tell me what the rest are from left to right, thinking of converting
them to individual lights with engraved tags.
tks

The correct Operator's Manual for the tractor will likely have the info. This panel on eBay may hold a clue. You can use it as a starting point to check function matches with a test light or voltmeter.

Were you able to get them fizzled out? Did you guys work out of the 2018 CEC book all year? Did you know for 2021 that 4/0 al is no longer allowed for 200A services?

I don't think they are all used.

I have a UK 240 in the shed

Panel shown in my 240/250 operator's manual doesn't match tractor for some reason.

Wiring diagram only shows 4 bulbs

High beam is blue one
Alternator is red
Oil pressure is red
Air Cleaner obstruction is red

a more info on the lights, and i have enough not to know what they were, planning to replace them with a
single panel mount unit and engrave a tag under as what they are. original indicator is totally sun
rotted,
once they are located and tagged, the wiring problems i can follow through, any that are failed, even
without a service manual. very few people bring tractors here and have a manual in hand,,,let alone be
able to get one in less than 3 weeks, or want to wait for it before fixing their tractor,
normal situations on any 5 minutes of your time,.

PHILLIP D: no i didn't get the rule, i sat in on the instructor's update to student session, so not all
details were mentioned, we were using the last book[18], and the app users were using the new one, but
they were ruled wrong for this class, the next on in Sept will be the 21 version, with the building code
stuff added in, there will be discussion on that from the contractors holding such in stock....,ake sure
your first in line when it becomes time scrape it....
Did you even have a chance or need to use the meter i left you?
soon time for more spring cleaning....

Haha thats right Phil, actually the meter you left me is the only one Im using right now,! My other one crapped out on me and new batteries wouldnt fix it. We just used up the remaining 4/0 early on in the year and started a new reel of 250 a little while ago.
