John Deere 4320

I am restoring a JD 4320, the lettering is worn and faded, mostly gone on instrument panel for water pressure, trans temp, ect. Any ideas on how to fix it so it looks original? Thanks

I do not really understand what you are needing. The shifter pattern is a decal. The warning lights have a lens that can be replaced. Each individual gauge has what it is in the face of the gauge. If they are where you can not read them you have to replace the gauge. So there really is nothing on the dash other than the shifter decal. I usually paint the whole dash black and replace the gauges. There are places that can restore the hour meter/tach. But they are not cheap. You can buy a new tach for what it cost to restore one. So unless yours is low houred and original then just buy a new one and keep the old one to prove the hours.

Try Jorde decals

JD, the later tractors DO have lettering underneath all the gauges that is seemingly silkscreened on the dash, and also a large "John Deere" plastic emblem as well. Over time this lettering gets worn. I know there used to be a gentleman in Green Magazine that restored these later dashes. I can't remember where or who he was. Perhaps someone here will know. Mike
