67 350 dash
I recently purchased a 1967 straight JD350 the owner told me it needed steering clutches. I took off the top covers and found clutch linkage broken. Got a new one and adjusted everything and it seems to be working great. I was looking at dash and noticed black plastic circle on bottom left near air filter and one under left front of seat. What gauges went here. Im assuming one was an hour meter. Also a threaded port on right of air cleaner which I assumed was for ether start but no lines going anywhere. This port has a round threaded cap with a chain so you don't loose the cap. Thanks for all help. I've been doing alot of reading on this site and my manual.
Re: 67 350 dash
My 450c has 4 gauges in the dash with the tach, water temp, transmission temp, oil pressure and amp gauge. The hole below the seat left side is where my hour meter is. The cap with the chain is for ether starting, I used the flexible oil pressure line to hook it up to the intake.
Hope that helps.

Re: 67 350 dash
So on the ether start did they not always have a hose. I see in the parts manual it shows a steel pipe to intake. The gauge that I don't know of is lower left. It doesn't show anything there in the parts manual. Maybe it was for some other crawler
Re: 67 350 dash
Okay you are correct that the port on the air cleaner housing is for ether. Early 350's shot the ether directly into the housing and not directly to the engine. Those appeared later when they ran a metal line up to the intake manifold. Later models had plastic lines instead of the early steel ones. Your gauge if memory serves is most likely a temp gauge. On your machine they would only have put temperature, oil pressure and an amp gauge. So it will be one of those three. I don't remember precisely how they were placed but I do know they were the three gauges on the early 350 dash panels. The one down on the lower kick panel would be the hour meter.
