Just before we left for Dale's show, I took a break from my busy work schedule in the shop to play with the little G. (about 2 hrs to be exact) I know AC was always ahead of the competition with their idea's and engineering that they used in their Tractors, but they seemed to have overlooked one little problem on the G. The driver can't see the oil pressure nor Ammeter without cranking his or her head around like in the Exsersist movie , or getting off the Tractor. To me the only way you would be able to tell if there's a problem going on behind you, is if you smelled smoke or you hear the engine start knocking. Neither is not a good sign, and usually way to late to do anything! Sooo, while contemplating this situation, I'd thought I'd come up with an idea to stick the dash in front of the driver like all the other Models have. I used one of the nice used WD45 dashes that we sell for the chore. Boring another hole in the dash to hold the oil pressure gauge was the first mod. After some thought, I designed a mounting plate that would get sandwiched between the Tractor's tubular frame and hold the 45's dash. The wiring runs through the torque tube to the back of the panel to power the gauges up. This picture pretty much shows the deal. |
