Default hour meter

Fabbed up a gage panel a couple weeks ago to install an hour meter on the 125. I left room for a cyl head temp gage as well, and there's room at the bottom still for switches for something... I don't know... rocket launchers?

Anybody have a CHT gage? I see gages and I see thermocouples, but don't they have to be matched? Or will any gage work with any thermocouple? That knowledge is all that's holding me up on putting one in.

What do you think? Should I paint the panel yellow, white, or leave it the way it is?

I think white would help break up the yellow. That panel looks really good. Nice work.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
