Hi, newbe here!!
I have a MF 1240 which has been trouble free (except this issue) and a workhouse for many years.
A few of years back the tach and speedometer quit working. I had it checked at a dealer and they said a complete gauge cluster was needed to fix it. They were talking some significant $'s then so I suspect a lot more now. Since speed is not a factor and mowing is nearly full throttle I opted to not do the fix, Last season the Temp/Fuel gauges would intermittently quit working. At the end of the season they quit completely. I have been searching dealer/internect for a replacement gauge cluster with no luck. [b:2602f81416]Seems like my 1240 is a forgotten hero.[/b:2602f81416] One place said that I probably will never find another one and suggested mounting gauges somewhere on the tractor and just bypassing the existing gauges. Has anyone else had the gauge failure and if so, what did you do for a fix?
