Gav836 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 As i had a bit of time today again due to the wet weather i took a few pictures of the inside of our Fiat F140 for NH2 or anyone else who's interested. First up the dash panel showing L-R temp guage, rev counter, fuel guage. Bottom centre is the warning light block for oil pressure, levels, temperature of oil/water. Switches below for lights, diff lock, 4wd, engine pre-heater. Tractor has now done 7666 hours since 1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 The roof area showing the all important radio and fan/air-conditioning controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 The right hand console, the front 3 levers are- smallest: forward/reverse. Middle one gears 1-4 with ratio double switch built in, basically like Fords dual power. Outside longest one selects the 3 ranges. The 2 small levers at the bottom are for the spool valves while the 2 upper levers set draft and depth controls, flick switch that is visible near them is the raise lower control, next to it is the pto on/off switch. Bottom rear lever is pto speed selector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Do you have an problems with that electronic dash Gav?? Not a bad gearbox when you consider its still available on the NH Classic's 14 years after it was introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sure do, it lights up like a christmas tree at times for no reason, we know there is no fault but that says there is. Usually engine oil level.

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Enjoyed that Gav, never hear anything good about them but never hear anything bad, is that true? Just a standard tractor, nothing fancy?
