Replacement lights

TASO · Feb 6, 2016

I am rewiring an Oliver 770. Thanks to all that responded to my previous post on how to connect the one wire alternator.
Got that done and installed my new cluster gauge.
Everything is working good but I do not have any light bulb sockets with bulbs for the new cluster gauge. The original cluster gauge was missing when I bought the tractor and I thought the new gauge would have the sockets , bulbs and pigtails with it but I found out it doesn't. Does anyone know where to get them or what sockets with LED lights will work?
Also, is the buzzer for the oil pressure available anywhere? I would like to have a working buzzer but it is not absolutely necessary.
I have been searching on the net but have not found these lights or buzzer. I suspect I will have to go without the buzzer and use LED lights if I can determine the right replacement.
Any ideas on the LED replacements and buzzer replacement would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you tried a auto supply like NAPA and see what they can come up with for light sockets and I think they can find you a buzzer for the oil pressure. They do have a online site that you can look at.

I am not exactly sure what your looking for. Older oliver gauges had a hole in the back of the gauge and the light and socket snapped in. If this is what you are looking for, call Maibach tractor. They will have something. The replacement gauges have a built in bulb, and you just have to wire them.

Thanks- I am going to take the gauge to NAPA and see what will fit.

I restored my 550 last year. I added an oil buzzer to mine last year. The wires were cut where it had been. It's loud enough and not too annoying. Just touch it to one of their batteries in the store if you want to hear it first.
Got it at Oreilly Auto. "Cole Hersee - Buzzer Alarm - Part #4099. 12 V. $15.00

Mine had 2 different kinds of light sockets and I could tell some were replacements. I only had to buy some bulbs.

Thanks -I will look into the buzzer. I found replacement light sockets- 5/8" plastic snap in for a #57 bulb at an auto supply. They work well.
Korves also has replacement sockets with bulbs available. I ordered a set from them to have as spares. I have other tractors with the cluster gauges- an 880, and two 550's all of which have the original wiring. I also have another 880 I am starting on after I finish the 770.
