L1801-L185 upgrades

[meanjean]

My great neighbor stored my tractor for me for a few weeks over the winter after I knocked my garage door off the rails with the loader...oops.
He asked if there was anything in particular I would like done and he did NOT disappoint! I haven't got pics of all the upgrades but will post once I finished snapping the pics.

Here's the list:
Installed electric and mechanical temperature sensor gauge.
Installed am meter gauge.
Installed volt meter gauge.
Installed oil pressure gauge.
Installed a SWEET new dash to house the 5 gauges.
Drilled and capped a hole for easy access to the throw out bearing.
Shortened the FEL lever so I can climb aboard on either side.
Installed a coolant circulator.
Installed a coolant overflow reservoir.

What a guy!
He is an older single farmer with health problems.
My wife and I make sure to drop off meals at least twice a week.
I spent an hour and a half last night mowing his lawn.
We do all we can to show our gratitude for his kindness.

It looks great!
where did he get the 5 pod housing? Did he make it or buy it?

Its great to have such a good friend. Because he is far more than a neighbour.
Some of the older folks look for things just like this to do. In a sense, it keeps them going. I would hate to sit around with nothing to do. Vacations drive me crazy.

I came home one day to find my retired friend just finishing cutting my grass-all nine acres, with his mower. So i would have time to go fishing with him.
I get to work on his cars 2 restored classics and one in the process. I like fixing, he likes cutting grass. Fair trade.

Neighbor made it. He started with a piece from an old stove.
