My fuel and temp gauge are not working, they were reading before. I can see fuel in the tank (topped off) and I have good coolant levels. Upon starting the tractor I get a slight jump in the fuel gauge but it is still reading well below empty as is the temp gauge. This is a new tractor to me but it has about 900hrs on the tach. I can't find the fuse panel either. Any suggestions?

Update: I just ran the tractor for about 10 minutes and the fuel gauge did come up to a full reading but the temp gauge is still burried reading below the cold side, is this normal? I think I should get some movement on the temp guage upon start up? ....

It could be any of a number of things causing this. I would suggest double checking all wire connections and grounds 1st. Then it is most likely narrowed down to the sending unit or gauge. Being that is sounds like this just recently happened and both gauges at the same time; I would think a faulty or corroded wire connection or fuse could be the culprit. ....

There was a thread concerning this problem several years ago regarding 870 series tractors. I had the problem on my 870 and ended up replacing the instrument cluster. It was about $120 at the time. I think moisture gets into cluster and increases friction on the gauge movements. Mine would try to come off zero when my problem first started and sometimes they would move upscale normally and sometimes they stayed stuck. You could see them try to move when you started engine so I was pretty sure I was dealing with a mechanical issue. ....
