Branson 2910i meter cluster board

[sallyb]

I was wondering if there is a cluster meter board that doesn’t cost over $500 dollars to buy, a universal one?
I believe the board on mine is digital.
Thanks You, any advice is welcome.

I believe @K5lwq mounted one from another tractor on his Kioti tractor some time ago. Maybe he will provide more insight when he sees this.

It's a fairly simple tractor electronic wise, so should be very easily to mount a couple gauges, hour meter and maybe something else.

can but chinese instrument clusters for about 100 bucks , i guess its just a case if you can get a need fit, as ptsg says the interface isnt terribly on basic tractors. most tach signals come of the W connection on the alternator, then you just have to match the resistances on fuen senders, oil pressure senders etc... i guess sits a tradeoff of what your time versus the part is, have you looked into getting the branson board repaired?

I wouldn’t know where to get repaired.

Where would I buy a board? Only one I found for Branson was over $500

The one I did was not digital. It was one from a universal one that is designed after the older Ford tractors. I made a adapter plate to mount it. I got it from Yesterday’s Tractor.

You probably could get after market digital gauges and make a dash for them. If I could have gotten the one from Kioti, I would have paid the price. It is a discontinued item.

Hope this helps.

you would have to sound out an electronics enthusiist, you would likely need to find/provide a schematic for the tractor, (see 10m, 20 seireis survice manual. Servicing Manuals for Branson - Google Drive page 33) from that they would know what power to pit on which pins to fault fond the cluster, is the whole cluster not working of just some specific signals? if its the whole cluster its likely something common like a negative link or a 12v supply.

fwiw it looks like the wiring loom of these bransons is same across a few models,

"Branson Tractors OEM HA00000014J Wiring Harness Assembly
Used in Branson models 2100, 2400, 2400h, 2800, 2800h"

alternatively migrate each guage/indicator across 1 at a time to individual guages, such as this one for tach/hourmeter,
