L4400 RPM-Hour Meter Mechanical

[NomadActual]

The RPM-Hour Meter on my tractor has stopped working.
I took it out and i found that the spring that is connected to the needle shaft is all twisted up.
These are not available for purchase without buying the whole internal panel section, for near $400.00...

Does anyone know where I could purchase just this part?

Thank you -

My suggestion would be to turn to business who specialize in repairing old speedometers and instruments.

This is one but there are many perhaps close to where you live.

Speedometer repair

If unsuccessful with the above suggestion...

Some "speedometer calibration" places also do repairs, but don't necessarily advertise as such.

Perhaps a spring out of another gauge will work. You'll local auto salvage yard might have a few inexpensive mechanical gauge clusters to try. An old mechanical pressure gauge has similar spring.

Keep us posted on your solution and good luck.

Good morning - i sent the device off to the place Dave_eng suggested, after first contacting them.
They sent it back indicating they do not repair that device.

SO.... i am guessing a new instrument panel is in order.

Thank you for the suggestions!!
