Hi i have an Agracat, I believe it is a 2000 or 1999, one day the gauges just stopped working and all of the switches. I can still get it to turn over with the key and the ammeter still works, but nothing else. I have checked all of the fuses, is their a single power cord that runs all of the gauges that i need to look into. By the way I have no Manuals what so ever.
thanks in advance

I don't know that tractor but two things that are generally common to all gauges except the ammeter are voltage and ground.
Thinking out loud, and assuming negative ground system, use a meter to measure resistance from the - side of a gauge to ground. If it measures 0 ohms then voltage may not be getting to the gauges. If it measures infinite or very high resistance then there is probably a ground problem.

Given your estimate of a 8-9 year old Jinma, is it safe to speculate that you have individual gauges - rather than the cluster panel? If yes, you might want to double check the fuses. Are yours the old wire-wrap fuses, or the disposible ATO type?
You might also want to see if your headlights work. The diagram I have shows the individual gauges are on the same circuits with the headlight switch.

Yes i have the single gauges, not the complete panel. ....

So which kind of fuses does it use? I ask, cuz the AgraCats I've seen used the old wire-wrap type. They can be tricky to re-wrap. But the ATO type are not without quirks either. Some may look good at casual glance, but will show bad when subjected to a continuity test

KW is on the right track, grounding is usualy the culprit when a tractor gets about that age. ....

This should also illustrate that none of these gauges share a common path to ground. So if all the gauges went out at the same time, the problem is on the + side. Hence my opening question about the fuse type.
