Added gauges to l1500dt

OK, on post #8 shows the new position of the fuses. I used the old holder because all I had to do is add some wires and ends and screw them on to the holder. Here is the new position of the regulator and the old fuse holder, just mounted it on the place where the regulator was, here are some pictures. Also had to replace old main switch, went down to the Case dealer and bought one of their switches for 38.00, has seven connectors and a key start. Here are the pictures of the new position of the reg. and fuse box. As for the temp. bulb, it rests right in the coolant, so, should register just fine, and I didn't use the drain anyway, just took the lower hose off to drain. Also, thanks for the heads up on the ultimate must reads, for the loader, thank you. Bob.

Oh my bad..... my lame brain saw those as switch knobs instead of fuse caps. Didn't look at the wiring closely enough to recognize that the old fuse box was wired to those "knobs"

Yes, If I had chose to rewire the old fuse box, there would have been quite a lot of cutting and extending wires, so it was easier just to wire from the existing lugs to the new fuse containers. I have got all of the wiring back into place and everything works, so tomorrow, I hope to have the tractor running, even in reverse. Bob.

Well, I just intended to add the gauges, but ended up replacing a reverse gear, main shaft, seals, and painted it. I thought that I could share pictures of it finished, but when I was adding the coolant, saw two pin hole leaks in the radiator, so I might take it to a radiator shop or buy a new one. Bob. Good news, the radiator is repairable. There was damage in two places and they are able to repair for 60.00 bucks. I also added a before picture. Sorry about the L175 sticker, couldn't find an L1500DT sticker. They said that I could get an oem for 305.00 -- website, www.guaranteedradiatorstampa.com
