L4060 How to change Speedometer from KM to MPH

[lzicc]

I cannot find a way to change my speedometer from Kilometers to Miles Per Hour. I read the manual twice and I also went through the screen on the tractor a few times. Anyone know how to do it?

If your L4060 is like my M135GX, the choice comes in selecting either Japanese or American units. It doesn't mention anything about that being a change from metric to English unit of measure.

Here's a conversion chart for KPH to MPH.

Kilometers per hour to Miles per hour table

You may be able to get a US MPH speedometer thru your parts dealer. Or use a label maker and put MPH numbers on your KPH speedo. I'm more concerned with engine RPM than MPH and use my tachometer. I can't recall how my speedo reads or if I even have one.

Just realized you may have a digital speedo. That programming should be in the owners or service manual.

I have a chop suey moped with a bilingual odometer. Maybe this will help with a layout for your tractor. The numbers on the inside represent MPH.

Ok, so you can't change it then?

I explained it detail here, however you also need to set the coefficient of speed for your specific tire size (this depends on the type of tires installed.)

I'm jealous didn't know tractors had speedometers. Just how fast does it go.:cool2:

As an engineer I quantify things all the time in order to design things that can perform a certain task. But elsewhere I wonder why people feel the need to assign a number to everything. Like how long was my walk or how fast am I riding my bike? It is what it is!
Don't get me wrong, displaying km/hr would drive me nuts & I'd want to change it too, but just out of curiosity, is there any reason someone would need to know the ground speed on a tractor?
