> If the hole below the steering wheel is in the right side grey panel, that was originally used with the select-o-speed transmission for the PTO control knob. The hole in mine is presently used for a starter button, came that way, may be a problem with the button on the transmission, never bothered to check or change it back.
-The hole in mine is kinda a hack job pretty much right below the steering wheel, roughly halfway up on the metal. Not sure what someone had there unless it was a cigarette lighter. I don't see the charge indicator light bump below the ammeter on your tractor. I don't know the history on what tractors came with the light.
>I don't know what you are referring to on the rear axle electrical component, I don't have a lift up cover on mine.
-Attached pic with the plate lifted partway. Looks like it would handle an electrical connection - trailer light hookup?
>In no particular order: the pictures show the rear axle/seat area, starter button in the panel, instrument light dome, and under the seat from the front.
-I need to search for an instrument light at some point for mine.
>On your seat, there should be a "t" handle bolt behind the seat above the rubber springs that you tighten to add more spring capacity, you can see it in the photo. Also lubricate all the moving metal parts of the seat. Just previewed this post, the photos are in reverse order. Also since I am too tall, I added a rectangular steel tube under the seat to move it up and back.
-I like the idea of making the seat better for a over six foot driver. Found various sellers of Rest-O-Ride seat parts. The adjustment handle is kinda frozen in place, but appears to be salvageable. The rubber torsion springs have the partially dry rotted appearance, but haven't checked them closely. Found prices running from $85 - $110 a pair online for them. Probably want to replace bushings when I start reconditioning the seat parts.
