Kubota B8200, then a Kubota L3130 HST, now a Kubota L3400 HST
After reading about the Sunpro guage garage sale, thanks to Inspector507, I think, I checked it out, and got the 2 5/8" triple set for a modest $15- I installed them on my B8200, which had American Std. pipe fittings(!?) on the oil sender and at the thermostat housing, so no hassle installing the sending fittings. I will attempt to attach a photo of the pod I made to house the gauges.

Okay, but it's not a Kubota poster shot.

Varmint, nice setup. My B8200 has the speed control device right where your guage pack is, darn it. I need to get creative, just don't know where to put an oil press and water temp. Already bought em (1 1/2" faces) just don't know where to put em.

You have a sharp looking B8200, obviously taken care of.

Your installation is first class. I do have a question and that is, what is the pink thing on your keychain in the picture? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

It's Kirby!! He can fly. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Eat bad guys. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Spit bad guys out in rapid fire motion. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif He looks cute and cuddly but he is actually quite lethal. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Well, Daryl, it's a little plastic.... pig. My wife gave it to me; I have no idea why she'd give me a pig keyfob, but go figure?
I don't think it eats anything, good or bad. It certainly doesn't spit, or it'd be outta here. As for the comment about the tractor being well-cared for, consider A. it's a new toy B. I had just had it in the shop for the power steering install and the gauge business, and C. it's pretty amazing what scruffing around in 30" of CLEAN snow for a couple of days will do to clean up a tractor. The undercarriage was so clean I was thinking "show tractor". Now, it's starting to look more like a real tractor. Anyway, I'm having some fun.

Ok, /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif it looked like Kirby. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

This is the first time I have been wrong this week. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Looks like I've met my quota /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
