I've asked this before, but still looking for help. Can anyone tell me the secret to removing the instrument panel in my B7800 to replace panel lights. I'm sure there is an easy way to access the lights, but the operators manual isn't very helpful. Anyone help....?

Maybe there'll be a reply from somebody with a repair manual. Probably wouldn't do much good to describe how to remove the console on mine and I also seem to recall a discussion quite awhile ago and maybe there's are a few tricks to doing it on a Kubota. If it's gauge dial lights that need replacing, I'd check if the gauge can be removed from the console with the console in place.
There's a chance that the bulbs aren't exactly easy to assess or to replace. I took a quick tour through my manuals and the repair manual doesn't have much to say about the lights themselves. The parts manual has part numbers for the alternator and oil indicator bulbs but not for the gauge lights. I'm guessing that if I took off a gauge I'd find a screw head cover someplace that would have a bulb under it. Without a part number I'd have to track down a replacement. I asked a parts guy about a temp gauge bulb once and he didn't have any immediate answers either. Sorry I'm not more help. ....

Thanks Tom. It looks like I'll start with taking the entire panel cover off the tractor and peek inside to see if there was a way the instrument panel comes off the panel cover. ....
