Thanks very much - no, theres no indicator on the rev counter which is why Im stumped!!
No - theres no indicator as to what the engine revs should be to run at 540.
And no digital display on the dash?
Yes there is but this just tells me the revs - not what level i need to hold the revs at to operate the 540 at the correct speed..
So have you operated the switch under the wiper stalk?

This is what mine looks like - the rev counter
Is it?? Its on the 6800!
Yes. On a 10 series the rev counter goes round to the yellow section when the pto is on
Oh...well this just adds to the mystery then!

Yep 10 series dash. The rev counter will go to the yellow part when you seitch between modes with the switch under the wiper switch.
If you make a photo of the interior it is very easy to see if it is a 10 series ot not.

Very strange as the tractor IS a 6800....obviously one of the previous owners has changed the whole dash for some unknown reason...!!

Ah right I see the top of the dash is black, 10 series is brown.
Not sure whether all the functions are interchangable. Maybe @Tractortech knows.
It seems a bit of a mix as the diff light is on the dash, 10 series has it on the right hand console.
So are you thinking its not a 10 series dash?
Get a picture of the actual dash and a pic of the underside of the windscreen wiper control,there should be a little black switch you toggle to select between engine rpm,pto speeds F and R and the last one is the hrs.
Also a picture of the tractor serial number.

The very last 6000 series where very similar to the 10 series so it might be original but I can't be certain.
