New dash Board

For the first time since I've owned the tractor everything on the dash works like it did in 1930.  I replaced everything even the courtesy light, really need a courtesy light on a tractor right?   When I was a kid, the ignition switch was splicing two wires together, a smashed ammeter and I had to guess how much gas was in the tank because the gas gauge was shellacked to the bottom of the gas tank and wouldn't move.  Finally the speedometer, of course it doesn't work because of the added transmission and La Salle rear end, so I took it apart cleaned it up , replaced the glass lens then I  permanently set the mileage to 12-4-12,  my Dad's birthday-December 4, 1912.
