I can't get the light on the instrument cluster to light up when the lights are on. checked fuse and bulbs behind instrument panel and all are ok. Am I missing a bulb somewhere? Owners manual doesn't say anything about the instrument panel lighting up but I know it used to. Any suggestions?

It helps to have a wiring diagram. I did cure some gauge problems on my Ford by finding dirty fuse holder terminals. I missed the problem at first because I only tested for battery voltage on one side of the fuse holders.
If all lights are out, I'd suspect a circuit rather than a bulb problem. It would be good to check for battery voltage and ground continuity. That might be a little tricky without a wiring diagram. With a diagram, wire colour codes and multi-connector pin locations for hot leads to the gauges can be identified. A VOM can test for battery voltage to the gauges by disconnecting a plug and turning on switches. Grounds can be tested by testing for continuity on corresponding pin on the other side of the connector, through a gauge to the tractor frame. A ground continuity test done in this way also would indicate a bad bulb. I'm making an assumption that there is a multi-pin connector between the switch and gauge.
