Well, I thnk my hunt for an AC with a wide front is over. If everything goes as planned I will be going to buy it and bring it home Tuesday. No, it is not the WD45 that I posted on here. Anyway, the only fault that I can see with it is that someone has replaced the traction booster gauge with a second amp gauge (I'm picky you can tell). I looked it up and a new traction booster gauge that actually works is $100!!! Is there anything I should know about when I go to hook the new one up?? Is there anything else I should know about related to the traction booster gauge and system?
 
It has been converted to 3 point. I'll tell you what model tractor it is but I want to have a little fun with you guys first.
 
HINT: It is newer than the WD45.

If the 3-point conversion does not actually hook or link into the existing TB; other than esthetics, or being "picky" (as you say), there's no point in putting in a working TB gauge.

I think it does hook up.
 
Oh yeah, I couldn't resist. I guess my new avatar gives it away.

What, the traction booster?? If so yes, it is used to detect the weight of the implement and adjust the amount of lift on the lift arms thus putting more weight on the rear wheels and giving more traction.
 
As for the gauge I don't exactly know.
