72 3000 gauge cluster not working

My dash gauges don't work and I'm wondering is there a aftermarket tach and gauges for my 1972 3000 diesel? I can't stand nor do I trust idiot lights, as when they come on I feel damage is already occurring.[color=blue:d008e766c4][/color:d008e766c4]
 
Did you check for new gauges on this site? Click on "Tractor Parts" toward the top of the column at the left.
 

There are aftermarket dash cluster available for your tractor but you should first check to see if yours are bad.
There's a fuse in the harness behind the cluster that could be blown, the voltage stabilizer on the back of the cluster could be bad, temp, fuel sending units could be bad
Has for the idiot lights that's for the charging system and oil pressure, there is not factory or aftermarket gauge clusters that replace these lights with gauges.
 
That red light on the dash is much more
apt to get my attention than a guage -
especially after a couple of hours in the
seat.
Aftermarket clusters are available from
this site. If yours is original there's
about a 98% chance the tach and hour
meter are kaput anyway. They were
notorious for early failure.
If you are even remotely thinking about
an alternator upgrade to your tractor
someday you might consider switching over
to the 3600 style cluster and tach drive.
3600 tach is not driven off the
generator. It is driven off the oil pump
drive gear below the oil filter.
There is quite a bit of info about doing
the switch if you do some digging in the
archives here.
