Wishin4a416 2,189 #1 Posted February 10, 2013 I stopped by my local dealer today to shoot the breeze. It is a one man shop on saturday with only the owner there. I got a condensor and asked him if he might have a plastic dash plate for the c series. He went in the back and came out with one but was shaking his head. Anyway, it had holes for choke and throttle, not slots like mine has for the c-160. It had a cigar lighter hole and the light switch hole was rectangular. Beautiful piece still in the plastic with metal backing plate. What model does it sound like this is for? Also asked him about the red dust/grease caps but he had none. You never know. He has been there a long time and his father before him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock farmer 41 #2 Posted February 10, 2013 I think it's for a little earlier than yours, early seventies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,698 #3 Posted February 10, 2013 Are you sure the rectangular hole was for a light switch? I thought the older machines with an electric PTO used a rectangular dash mounted switch. Maybe it was for an Electro 12 or a GT-14. Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have taken a pic but my fonecam is broke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #5 Posted February 10, 2013 1971 should be the only year for push/pull controls in a plastic dash panel. (excluding any oddball exceptions I can't think of) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(excluding any oddball exceptions I can't think of) Then that must be it Terry. Just holes for push/pull. And the hole that looks like for a rocker switch.

Rock farmer 41 #10 Posted February 10, 2013 I'm finding if I respond early enough, and vague enough, I all most sound like I know what I'm talking about! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,698 #12 Posted February 10, 2013 Look like I was way off on my theory that that the rectangular hole was for the electric PTO switch . Oops! Mike............... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
