If you have a 4046, you know how easy the owner's manual is to understand. On my dash, the only thing that displays is the hour meter. I always thought it would have been so easy for them to program a clock into the bottom portion of the display but assumed they didn't, until I saw a picture of another LS model that had a similar dash display and it had a clock. Now I wonder if the 4046 does also, although I haven't found any buttons to push to bring one up. Does anyone know?

I don't think they do. I've never seen one anyway. My book shows it but says not used. Several things in that cluster that are not used.

No clock on my XR4046HC either. I have been investigating battery powered digital clocks that could be installed on the overhead perhaps with Velcro strips. My radio has a clock but I never think to look up there.

Here is one that may be worth $5 risk?

No clock in the XR3037HC dash either. The manual shows each item on the dash but says clock not used where the indicator is. There are a few other items on the dash display that say not used also. I wonder why all the dash displays show it but never use these other items. I'd like a clock to be displayed and maybe the error code function activated as well.

My Sony am/fm CD has a clock. I have it set so the clock is always displayed even with the radio playing.

My radio also has a clock and I wear a watch but it would still be nice if all the items built into the dash of these tractors actually worked.

Exactly! Why put the function there if you're not going to use it? I always wear a wrist watch too, but just thought it would be handy to have it on the dash.

I have a clock on my LS but there is also a lot of features not used on the dash. It's aggravating to see the indicators for features on the dash but LS won't import tractors with those features.

A lot of the features are used in Europe but not here. Instead of making different dashes they use the same one.
