This is what I accomplished today before it got too hot to work. I was out after 7 a.m. and quit before 11:30 when the temp got to 94 degrees. I think it got to about 100 today. Anyway, you can see a decal above the PTO and a nice decal on the fender of the Ford 640. Also I managed to get the metal part of an old gear shift knob off the shift lever and put on a new one. I also managed with great effort to put all new gauges on. The ammeter was easy but the rest required a variety of sweat and effort. The temperature gauge was the hardest since the sensor end came off in the engine and I had to remove the battery box to get it out. As soon as it came out a flood of coolant came behind it. The oil gauge was another challenge. Finally the proof meter took a lot of work. I needed three hands or four for most of the work.
It was a good day. Tomorrow I put some more together.
