Dash Switches

Morning all,

Can someone show me what the dash buttons and switches are in original order? I know far left is Starter button but I think mine has some..."custom" modifications that I need to resolve. Used search function and google images but can't seem to get a clear shot.

Alex

Left to right - starter button, wiper control (above instrument cluster), throttle (if used), choke, ignition switch, lighter (under ashtray).

On the lower switches, isn't the one to the left of the steering column the headlight lever, not the throttle?

Mixer, what are those little red lights you added to the dash for? And the red lever above the ignition switch?

The light above the starter button is the PTO engaged warning light, and the light above the two speed axle plaque a low vacuum warning light. The large red button is the two speed axle selector - in for low, out for high.
Correct. The push/pull switch to the left of the steering column is the headlight switch. There is a blank spot to the right of the steering column for a throttle, or whatever.
