AS Expected
I purchased this meter in 2004 when I bought a brand-new lawn tractor. I used an electrician's knockout punch set to make a perfect hole in the main mower body into which I mounted this. It is in a location where it gets bumped nearly every time I mow the lawn, as it is kind of behind my work boots. Not only has it held up to this point (nearly ten years later) but also has 650.3 hours on it! I keep track of when I replace things. So far, I have completely rebuilt the mowing deck and painted it with two-part Epoxy Paint, replaced the automatic transmission at 480 hours and just this winter, replaced the original 22 HP engine with a brand new 27 HP engine! I would definitely buy another one of these and would also have no problem highly-recommending this to ANYONE!
