I was looking on Royal Distributing for Temperature Gauges for my Snowmobile and There is one that has two different tips that might work a lawn tractor. One is a Spark Plug adapter(Measures Engine Temperatures) and one for an Exhaust Pipe that measures the Exhaust Gas Temperatures(you would need to weld in a nut and drill a hole in the exhaust). I thought it would be cool to have something like that on your engine. What else could you put on your tractor that would be cool?
Like RPM gauges, Fuel-to-air gauges, water temperature gauges(if its liquid cooled), hour meters, etc.?

put it all around the steering wheel where light switches, throttle cables, etc. normally are, that would look cool. That was one of the things i wanted to do with the Toro(Analog tach, EGT, and hour meter), have the gauges on one side and the switches on the other. i totally forgot about this post:P

I would love an accurate speedometer and maybe an hour meter. And odometer, and temp gauges for both the engine oil and transaxle oil would be awesome too.

I have a tach on my mower and its nice to see what's it at. Maybe a oil temp gauge would be cool or oil pressure. If u had a pressurize motor. Lol

Tach would be nice, don't think I want to know what the temperature is. My friend added an oil temp to his Harley, and he has been paranoid ever since he looked at it on a hot day during a long run. Better off not knowing some things.
