520 Idiot Light Panel Overlay

Recommended Posts

Terry, would it be possible to reproduce the overlay for the idiot lights on the top of the dash on the 520 tractors?

hello, I was wondering if you ever found a replacement overlay for your light panel?? I'm new to the wheel horse family, and also need the same overlay for my 520H.

 

best regards

78-8350 is the Toro part number for a new overlay. They are now red instead of black, FYI

I tried the red one from Toro, but the location for each light was wrong for my 88 520H..

 

So I cheated.  I scanned in the red one. Opened it in Photoshop and changed the red to black, then moved the text to where it should be.  Then printed it with an Ink Jet printer on transparency paper and cut it out..  I put white PVC tape on the back and glued it the dash.  Its not a perfect solution, but its better than nothing and has been working well for 2 years now.

 

I hope Terry responds and is able to make them.

heck Kurt, it sounds like YOU should be making them and selling replacements!!! I believe I've found a replacement/used dash bezel that still has the overlay on it, I'm going to buy it and just swap the whole dash on mine.

 Sorry I missed this post Kurt. If you email me a pdf file of your panel I will print one on my vinyl for you to experiment with?

Hi Terry,  I'll send you what I have.  Maybe you can do your wonders with it.

 

Thanks,

 

Kurt

I will scan one for the 520-HC (or 516) and send it to you as well to have on file.

I finally got back to this project and have a test decal for the panels shown below.

I have made a thick test decal with 2 layers of laminate to make them thicker.

They look great, I may get one of each added to my next order just to have here as spares.

Not sure how they will work as the originals are applied over a thin clear adhesive backed plastic film 

for rigidity over the bulb area?

They seem to be a very dark burgundy plastic film that red light shines through.

Hey Terry, do you think you can do one for a 520-8?  They are different.
