1941 John Deere Model B Dash

'41ModelB · Jul 23, 2010

Does anyone have a photo of the dash of a 1941 John Deere Model B they could provide? Mine is a hand start and all the gauges, etc., are missing. I have purchased a temperature and oil pressure gauge, so ADVICE (and pictures) on installing these would be welcome. I can't figure out where the cable for the temperature gauge screws in and there is no cable for the oil pressure gauge so I have no idea where this goes.

Also, she doesn't leak a drop of oil, which is good, so I thought that the oil plug was a good one--and went to change the oil and discovered she's plugged with a whittled piece of wood. Any ideas on where to get a new oil plug?

Thanks!

The oil line goes in at the rear of the governor housing where there is a 1/8 inch pipe thread opening. The water temp gauge goes into the pipe going to the top of the radiator right where it comes off the block. Look above the spark plugs. The oil drain plug should be a standard pipe plug from a hardware store. Ron Mn
