706 heat gauge sending unit

morris roessler · Feb 18, 2012

Can anyone tell me how to relpace the heat gauge and sender since it is inside of the insturment cluster on my 706? Looks like the wire has been cut off about a foot from the block and about an inch from the back of cluster.Can lossen the nut on back of cluster, but all that does is make the heat gauge lose inside the cluster.. thanks guy"s will apreciate you input..

It's all made together. You have to replace the whole unit.

Like the other guy said you will have to replace the whole cluster. On my 1256 I took a 6" by 6" piece of aluminum and used a hole saw to cut the proper sized holes for a temperature gauge and an oil pressure gauge. I bent the top 2" at a 45 degree angle and drilled two 1/4" holes in that top two inches. I bolted this piece to that access door down by the platform in the center. I installed a temp gauge and an oil pressure gauge. Now I can glance down at anytime and check temp or oil pressure. I wanted an oil pressure gauge instead of an idiot light and the temp gauge in the cluster didn 't tell me a whole lot. I like regular gauges for temp and oil pressure. If you want I might be able to email you a pic of what I did.

You can have it repaired. Todd Roberts of Iowa does this. His # is 319-330-7850
