There are a few issues that may pop up such as, RPM not accurate, Engine preheat cycle might be different but there are two selections available on the NH board. Engine oil pressure is something else to check out, but as long as the engine oil pressure sender works the same way between the NH and JD there should be no issue there.
If your panel has silver color trim lines there is not much you can do but replace it. The gold color trim panels can be rebuilt. Ag-Express in Sulphur Springs IN can rebuild them, I know there have been posts stating they no longer repair them, but I called after I saw these posts and they still repair them, however you may need to send the panel to their IA facility. They will not rebuild silver trim panels.
If you have a silver trim panel you need to be carefull that you order the correct panel. NH offers a "kit" to replace the silver panels. If you order just the panel that is listed the panel will not fit into the opening. The "kit" is just a panel made to fit the original opening. The 667 price you quoted in your posts appears to be for the "kit." NH does have rebuilt panels but there is not that much difference in price.
I can not remember, but I think we did sell a NH board for a JD.
