The indicator light is painted over - perhaps it can indicate something useful? The mechanic told me the engine is plum worn out with compression test of right at 90 psi in each cylinder. The oil pressure at startup is 60 psi and stays at 58-60 for a full half hour of driving around the pasture in 3rd gear with the rpm set for PTO use. Water temp goes to around 148 F and stays there. After being well warmed up the oil press goes to about 30 psi on very slow idle. No instrument light at the moment, but I plan to add one later.

I like bright, but don't want to attract every bug on the place to me. There is a mystery hole below the steering wheel that I have no idea about, but plan to install a cigarette lighter or other plug in that spot for cell phone charging. I also don't know what the mystery missing electrical component was that there is a lift up cover for on the rear axle?
