This tractor was, in many ways, ahead of its time, with several innovative design features, especially for a hot bulb tractor. In the centre of the panel, there is a large rev counter/speedometer, complete with a temperature gauge. I had removed this some time ago to sort out the capillary operated gauge and check that the rev counter worked. It was never refitted as it has always been the plan to refit it back onto the tractor once the aluminium decorative panel had been fitted and to source a cable for the rev counter which runs from the side of the gearbox.
Removing the panel
I thought it would make life easier to remove the dash
