I've lost confidence in my 1715 idiot lights ... I got them all working, replaced the bulbs with LED equivalents, but reliability is spotty at best. Is there a go-to brand/model of mechanical gauges that include the necessary adapters for 1715 oil pressure and water temp?
Anyone have any creative suggestions for location? The tractor is in real nice shape and I'd prefer not to hack it up too bad for gauges. Initial idea was to put a couple of rivet nuts in the vertical part of the dash panel below the steering wheel and bolt on a small panel there ... even though I know I'm going to hit my knees on it a million times.
Are the fittings on the engine for the sensors standard sizes? I think usually 1/2" NPT for water ... and 1/8 - 1/4 NPT for oil pressure.
