ford 661

Hey folks! Thanks for letting me on this forum. Just got a Ford 661; proofmeter and a coupla other gauges don't work. I presume that the proofmeter runs off a cable going into the engine, just like on a motorcycle. Figger I can test that by disconnecting cable from meter and seeing if it spins...

I am in the market for a small tractor...have a cabbed Kubota...found this listed recently for $4,000...don't know the shape yet...just checking to see what any of the Ford guys know about this tractor.It is a 57 or 58 thanks
