Model R Hour meter

[JimnhR]

Are needle type hour meters still available for a '52 Model R?

There are a few in Green Mag that will fix them, not sure on getting new ones, Metro speedometer and Star speedometer

I have a nos one if you are interested .

Is the one you have white face or black?

black

I'm trying to find which color belongs on my mid-1952 R. The other 3 gages are white but the digital style hourmeter I have now that I want to replace with an original is Black. This is shown this way in the JD R parts book but the later ones in the JD R owners manual show my s/n range having a white hourmeter. I'm kind of confused as to which is correct. I'm pleased to learn that they actually still exist though. When I learn which is correct, if it's black I need, I'll see if you still have it. Thanks

Jery,

I too am working on '52 R with a bad hour meter with a black face, 6V. Do you still have the NOS one and if so, what are you looking to get for it.
