Modern tractors are all drive by wire as well. Converting to mechanical throttle linkage would require a different fuel pump/injection set up. Not even sure you could do it if you wanted. Why do you wanf to do a conversion?

I really didn’t realize just how much electronics were in the roxor . I assumed too much . I thought it was like stepping back in time 4o years . I wanted a diesel and a manual transmission vehicle . I looked at old South American built Toyotas , old range rovers etc . Then I found roxors . I’d be happy with out the turbo , the electronic module and all the sensors.
I’d be happy with a motor , transmission, transfer case and a body . Just like 1947

Aside from the motor electronics and gauge cluster everything else is pretty much old school.

Anyone buy the manual gauge setup from DF yet. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger to get better info on my unit

That was something I considered until I saw bosch mechanical gauges on Amazon for around $50. I have fittings in route now to finish the install.

For the gauges, I am using SP0F000054.
The fittings will arrive today. Allow me to test the fitment, and I will share the fittings.

Okay it fits!
For the water temp probe, I used two pieces. The first was SS 1/4NPT female to 1/4NPT male that I drilled out with a .380 drill bit. The purpose of this fitting was to allow the probe length a place to be without hitting the M12 adapter to the thermostat housing.
1/4 × 1/4 NPT
The second adapter to the thermostat housing is SS M12x1.5 male to 1/4 NPT female.
M12 to NPT
The temp probe was 5/8-18 male, but came with the adapter 5/8-18 female to 1/4 NPT male.
BTW: All in one Aluminum fittings are available for water temp probe, but I don't like this in Aluminum.
For the oil pressure fitting, this is M6x1 tapered male to either 1/8 or 1/4 NPT female. The gauge comes with a reducer, so either size can be used. I preferred 1/8 to eliminate the reducer, but I had this fitting. You will need to shop for that one.
I recommend using 1/8 copper tubing in lieu of the plastic line supplied with the gauges.
1/8 OD copper tubing
Hopefully this makes it easier for everyone!

Sorry I mispoke... the oil pressure plug is M10x1 taper and not M6 as stated above.

Thanks for posting this ! Installed the gauges in my dash then went to tie in and was like I'm an idiot lol. Do you know a good spot to order these online ? I'm up in Canada in the middle of nowhere so I have to go online for most things. Do you have pics of your underhood Install ?
