Hi all,
I recently pulled the gauges out of my 1954? 300U because the oil gauge was cracked, the temp gauge didn't work, and the tachometer cable was leaking. I bought new gauges and tach cable. A couple of questions on this.
First, I bought a new tachometer (the old one was working, the cable was just leaking) because when I took the cable off and tach out, the tach face filled up with oil when I tipped it up. Why would there be oil in the tach like that? Is that normal and I just caused by turning the gauge upside down? Could the leaking cable have caused this somehow? Could I have some other issue?
Second, on the back of the new tach I bought there is the normal connection hole which matches my old cable. However, there is also another hole that has a little brass screw in it. My old gauge didn't have that. What is that screw for? The part numbers didn't exactly match, even though I'm told this is the right tach for the tractor. Is this screw just something for different models the tach may fit or some kind of adjustment I'll need to deal with?
Last, is there anything I should know before installing the new tach, tach cable, temp guage, or oil pressure guage? Any tricks or anything to watch out for? As of know I'm planning on pulling the old ones off, hooking the new ones up, and firing up the tractor. Any info at all will be helpful. Don't assume I know anything b/c I don't!
