B7100-Installing Gauge Panel

[mrwitty_1]

Merry Christmas To All !

I have been pondering putting a set of mini gauges on my B7100HST, so I came here for suggestions on a mounting location and advise if anyone has done the same. I haven't looked at the engine to see if there was any place to install the temp and oil sensors, though maybe someone could lend this advise. The battery voltage should be no problem, I have also looked at the diesel tiny tach but they are coming out with a new model so I'll put that on hold for now. I really enjoy this tractor but wish it had came with a gauge package, I always worry that it will overheat and would like to keep a eye on the temp. Thanks in advance.....

Interesting thought. I am more concerned about poor oil pressure---the lamp is very unlikely to get my attention. Perhaps I should wire it into the horn, or get some other buzzer.

I once had a Kubota on my sailboat the hemmorhaged oil and set me to rebuilding the engine. Once I re-installed it, a full-blown audio alarm for low oil was mandatory.
