Project 265

Has it got a hazard switch? They can cause problems. I would be surprised if all the wiring to every light was damaged, you could check that from the indicator unit by hot wiring as it were. Similar with the switch.

Looks very like ours. One thing I would advise is to fit a new fuse box. One of the best things we did. Have the same seat too similar paint work. Bit underpowered tractor but reliable as stink ours isn't mp though

Yes the fuse box is a nuisance, a lot of the contacts are corroded

Even the brake lights work ! I was amazed !
I will check the hazard light switch tomorrow

Check clean fuses check power/earth at bulbs 1st before checking
As said hazard light switch is the main problem as the indicators goes through hazards 1st

For a start

Then mulitplugs connections etc a simple system just corrosion sets in

had to cut the broken hinge off, totally seized onto the pin, other side pin broken so had to drill it out
Yes I know the window is the wrong colour but it will keep the rain out

Got indicators now ! But no hazard lights
Had a lot of head scratching and tea making before getting them working

Only after discovering this thread ...........

The hazard switch will be quite complicated, it has to switch off the indicators, before it turns on the hazards. If that's any help ..............

Probably have the roof fixed, but consider drilling a few holes and lacing it together with soft wire, before applying fiber glass or Isopon P40 (the chopped stuff)
The holes will also help the filler to catch

re Roof
Where there is room I would grind back any gel/flo coat on the underside to expose fibres and lay over some fresh GRP mat. Cut out mat to overlap the split by a good margin, then cut out a smaller mat and then a third. Mix up resin and lay first mat in resin tray to fully soak then apply - rolling out air pockets. Follow up straight away with 2nd and 3rd rolling again. Allow to go off and re flo coat. Could do with a friendly boat builder to locate decent materials.

Heater fan freeded up, matrix cleaned and all back together again

Roof is fixed, some kind of fiberglass body filler, at least I think that's what it is, fixed fibreglass cab roof with it before

I can't work out what need there is for so many terminals on the hazard switch, as soon as I switch them on the indicators stop, so I had to do a little bit of re wiring to get indacitors going
