Quote: LarryBud (quoted from post at 08:02:38 12/19/22) Looking 1982 JD 2040. None of the gauges work.
I have a basic maintenance ( fluids / filter / bolt on parts ) skill set.
How hard will it be for me to get oil pressure and temp gauges working?
Tach and alt would be nice too but I know I need the first two to operate the machine.
Hard to say what it will take or how hard the fix will be. If none work and they are all in a cluster arrangement, it might be as simple as a bad connection in one of the harness connectors. Unplug, check/clean and re-plug the connectors would be a first step. Beyond that, diagnostic troubleshooting procedures of each circuit will get the answers, and you will likely need the correct JD 2040 Technical manual, with wiring diagrams, to guide you.
If your cluster is like the one in the picture below you have indictor lights not gauges so checking bulbs is a step as well.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
