I finally wrapped up my gauge install. Thanks to 85Hokie for all of his help with this!!
Since I discovered that my Kubota hour meter was not working and since it is a standard 2" gauge, I decided to put an oil pressure gauge in the same location. The original oil pressure light is still functional as well.
I added a coolant temperature gauge. The challenge here was where to put it, since dash space is at a premium and I didn't want it getting in the way from entry and exit of the tractor. I ended up installing it to the left side of the dash. I added some hosing in an attempt to protect the wires when I brush cut. It doesn't look that good, but it should work.
There was a small hole in my dash with a plug in it. I thought that would be a great place for a voltmeter.
Since I used the original hour meter location for my oil pressure gauge, I decided to add an hour meter under the hood instead. I don't need to view it as often as the other gauges, since I only use it to determine maintenance intervals. I installed it on the firewall instead.
