Running the R62 in high 80's, cutting beans, the ac is ok but wont run you out of the cab. But when you put the back of your hand to any of the gauges, volt, water temp, oil pressure, they all feel hot to the touch. I ordered a new volt gauge ($91.00) because it was sporadic but the AGCO gauge didn't look anything like the original and terminal didn't match, looked like a $10 gauge from Orielleys. My son says its the old candescent bulbs creating to much heat. He is looking for an led retro fit. for the bulb

Is there somthing else I need to be aware of.

Thanks
