Why did JD make some of the "A"'s with the slant dash? Was it a marketing gimmick? What was the advantage if any? and how many was produced? Just curious I saw a ad with one or sale.

To the people who know their tractors it give us a little clue to what it is. We now this tractor is the last series low compression all fuel model. When this machine is complete & restored its a nice big toy for someone collection or it can be a work horse on the farm. RLA

Factory electric start option. The hood extended back further to make room for the battery. Dash slanted to give the shifter clearance.

No. dash slanted so you could see the gauges. The "B" got rid of the slant dash because the shifter wouldn't clear the slant dash. But the "A" had room for the shifter and the slant dash.

The slant dash does a good job of catching bird poop. Have two of 'em & unless they're covered, the birds use those round gauges for target practice!

I believe the engineers thought the gauges would be easier to read if installed on the slanted plane 'cause the dash is fairly close to your knees on the A.

Later.
