Tractor Gauges

[moderatmixed]

I want to install a set of gauges onto my B6100. The intention is to put an oil pressure/water temp/voltage/fuel qty and Tachometer.

Anybody have any suggestions where it would be best to put the temp sender for the water temp, and what temp range is considered normal? Too where would be best to attach the sender for the tach.

I'm thinking about going digital for space considerations, and the possibility of adding a digital hour meter and hydraulic pressure.

Any thoughts, (other than cost)

Cheers

I just added a water temp guage to mine. I drilled a hole in the side/top of the radiator and soldered the fitting in it. Mite not be a good idea if you can't solder.
On the oil pressure, I use a tee fitting so I can keep the idiot light. Most of the fittings on the Kubota are metric, so be careful.

If you don't want to go the mechanical route for that tach ( there is a fitting for one on some models ) then you can get an electronic tach that senses the fuel flow. There is a post about it from a few months ago.
