LX565 Dashboard Retrofit

[BuckRobertson]

You can try contacting Mike Fyock on Facebook (the one that lives in Lititz, PA). I had the same problem a while back. He was building adapter cables to be able to use newer model boards in the older machines. He included the board, adapter cable, and mounting plate to fit. Has worked fine for me.

I need one of these! I can't find him on Facebook. Any other info on how to contact him would be greatly appreciated

I nearly done retrofitting the electronic dashboard with steam gauges. It wasn't too difficult but it would not be easy without the wiring diagram. I used SW gauges with a Speedhut tachometer. I matched the sending units to the gauges except for the fuel gauge. In this case, I matched a gauge to the sending unit in the tank. I used all of the existing wires to the dashboard and didn't have to run any new ones. If anyone has questions or wants pictures, please reply and I'll share.

I'm hoping you can help me out. I've followed your post and unfortunately can't find the posting again where you have some pictures and part numbers. I have a failed dash on my lx565. Although I'm new the the Skidsteer owner thing, I like the idea of the gauges. Also, how did you deal with all the safety electronic controls integrated in the dash circuits? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How did you deal with the electronic safety issues?

Dash has been working well over the past 1.5 years and 50 hours.

How did you deal with the electronic safety issues?

I connected the seat and seat belt interlock in series with the hydraulic enable solenoid. The emergency brake handle is wired to a small buzzer to remind you to release it before use.

The tachometer video for the dashboard retrofit of my LX565 is still online.

I have done the same retrofit but am running into an issue with alternator voltage output. Can you send me a copy of the wiring diagram? My repair manual for the lx665 had blank pages where it was supposed to be. Thank you

Great job Elmouca...
Simplicity is a wonderful thing.

question about the retrofit job...

Did you eliminate the service/run switch AND the start interlock relay?

In other words, Did you simplify the start process... key switch/start relay ... to starter.
and keyswitch / relay / fuel pump?
