Yanmar 1500 temp gauge

[jduggan0318]

I just purchased a Yanmar 1500 and am happy with the tractor.
I was just wondering if I should add on a temp gauge from Hoye.
My dash is pretty full with turn signal,horn and light switch along with the warning lights.
If I use the bracket with the gauge on the website it seems like it would stick out pretty far.
As for putting it on the left side I don't think that would work because it is tight enough getting on and off the tractor
Does anyone have pictures of how they did it on a 1500?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Just be aware that since the YM1500 has no water pump, don't let it scare you when you see the temp go up to 240 - 250 degrees or so.

This is how I mounted mind on my 1500.

I got rid of the idiot lights and put in a voltmeter, temp, and oil press gauges. I'll attach a photo of my 1500's dash. I just used a set of small SunPro gauges I found at AutoZone.
