Got an old tractor that the air filter indicator doesn't work. Just lays over on the red.

I've traced the problem down to the switch; gauge and wiring are fine. Seems it isn't making contact in the "normally closed" state.

Can these be cleaned up and repaired or should I just order a new switch?

Thanks,

Allan

If its a 2 prong switch make sure the ground side of the switch is grounded. If its the one wire switch make sure the sender itself is to a good ground. If that checks out then you just need a new switch.

Steve: My neighbor didn't need a loan. She got what she deserved, as she wasn't above circulating some of hubby's shop talk to the town gossip mill.

I was in no position to laugh out loud, but I'll bet I was two weeks getting the smile off my face. In fact it still strikes a smile ocasionally. She was about 3' wide at the imprint end.

don't those things work off of vacuum? When the filter gets dirty the vacuum naturally increases. How hard would it be to pop that fella out of there and see if maybe it's just stuck?

I never saw one I trusted to tell me when it was time to service anyway. I wouldn't waste my money.

Howard: I'm with you, don't have enough faith in those air filter gauges to spend my pocket change on a new one.

Perhaps we could suggest to Allan, when he's out in the back 40, slip his trousers down and stick his posterior up to the 1066 air intake. He'll find out how well it's sucking. My neighbor recomended something similar to the bankers wife. She asked how she would know if the spring soil was warm enough to plant her garden in. He told her if she could sit there comfortably for 10 min. it was warm enough to plant. Then he wrote a letter to the editor of the local paper about seeing elephant tracks, across his line fence.

Hugh, a classic!
Me and the Redhead are both LOL!!

There's a local lady slings coffee in the neighborhood diner in the wee hours of the morning, good woman, full of p*ss and vinegar, will trade it with the best of them.
When she went on vacation, one of the guys strung a clothesline across her front porch in town and hung a few 3-foot-wide sets of lady's pantys for everyone to enjoy while she was gone. It was a hoot.
