Jim,

RBedell has a pamphlet on that meter I believe...he should be along in a while...

Jim:

Here ya go....I am still trying to get a sharper image of this....

So, am I correct in assuming that the white needle should be constantly moving when the tractor is running, or did I misinterpret that? Thanks, Jason

[R Bedell]

Jason:

YUP....you are correct.

[Jim H.]

So I'm reading that as 630 hours . Correct?

[R Bedell]

Jim:

OR it is simply 30 Hrs....!

[Jim H.]

Thanks Roland,

Both then could be correct.
Assuming a new meter, the red and yellow hand should be pointing to {60} So yes that could read actual 30 hr.
Hypothetically It would be harder to resell a tractor that had a meter replaced at say 250 hrs, When the meter says 630hr at an actual 280 hr run time. { this is the reason I never go by the hours when looking at one to buy}

I look at overall condition as to how maintained,and how It sounds and drives.

I ended up getting tired of my dial hour meter so I replaced it with this since I was addding an oil pressure gauge anyway.
