help with gas gauge on a T1460

[beachbumtroy]

ok i just got a T1460, and i got it running got the deck fixed, now im wondering about the gas gauge and
wiring? it has some litebulb holes in the dash but thats it, so i was wondering how to fix? the easy way is i see they have an updated gas cap with float built in but its a little pricey....so im hoping for some good advice where from and how to run line from gas tank,im assuming its an electrical gauge,couldnt find anything about it in parts list or owners manual? thnx in advance for any and all ideas....p.s im no good with electrical diagrams

curious, all I can find is that cork on a stick gas cap for $150+-

I'd have to see pictures of your current float/meter setup.
I did install an aftermarket unit in my forklift,worked fine for years....

I don't recall T1460 having a fuel gauge.

They did not have one as standard equipment but offered an optional gauge in the fuel cap.

OK, that makes the 2 drawings I see online make sense ! one...no guage, 2nd has 'option' of fuel cap gauge. Reminds me of the one in the Ford LGT125 series and some CASE GTs.

yep that sounds like the bottom line.....ive never had a mower that at least u could tell the gas amount by the tank peeking thru somewhere? ......so it looks like im going to go with the fuel cap float gauge, found one at messicks for $101. which is ok just never heard of a mower u couldnt tell fuel level somehow? thnx for comments, was thinking after i posted that litebulb holes wouldnt have held a gauge anyway thnx
