So my tractor doesn't have this, and I was thinking, after I overhall the engine, I'd like to somehow keep track of the hours for maintance purposes. So I began looking for the thing that goes in the center of my instrument panel, the large hole, where I I just have a metal cap now. I found a pic of a guy's 205ish tractor and it looks like a tach with an odometer thing...I'm guessing the odometer is an hour meter, and discovered they call this gauge a proofreader...no idea why.
Anywho, after doing some more reading, I discovered there will need to be some sort of cable that goes from the proofreader to somewhere else (of course)...someones thread said something like the alternator or something with gears, but I couldn't figure that out...besides, I think my 205 still has the generator on it.
So does anyone know about these old proofreaders, how the cable works? Also, I can find a proofreader for a 202, 204 industrial, but will this fit my 205 industrial? I know my service manual gives data on 203, 205 industrials. Are there such a difference between 202,204 industrials and 203,250 industrials?
Thanks for any guidance. :confused2:
