CT series dash lights

[Lockport]

I was parked in the sun the other day and realized that I have L,M,H and N indicator lights on the dash to indicate what range the tractor is in but I've never seen then illuminated. Do I have a disconnected wire someplace?

Thanks all.

I have a CT 235 and have never seen this lit up, in fact did not know they were even on the dash!! What year is your tractor?

Never saw any lights on the dash on mine

First light I've seen on the dash was this weekend.. I was running the brush hog, and noticed the PTO light was on. I didn't see it at first, so when I noticed it, I thought maybe so etching was wrong..
I'll look for a gear indicator next time I'm there.

Dang iPad spelling/word choice.

Fred, it's a 2012...I think. If you take a maglight and look at the dash light position on the right top, opposite the glow plug, battery, etc on the left, you should be able to make the out. There's an L, M, H around the top and an N beneath. I looked underneath at the base of the levers for contact switches and first I thought I saw one, then I wasn't sure I wasn't mistaken. It's hard to see. If there is one it's over the hydro and if not, I'd like to get one!

Lockport;

I looked at my service manual and it shows the dash layout with three open circles on the right side and not identified. I am assuming that these dashes are stamped out and are used for many models. Other tractors using the same stamped dash layout may well have lights to signify what gear the tractor is in. Mine however does not have this although I too can see the three circles on the right side of the dash but they are not used.

It's not an issue for me as my tractor stays in the med gear 98% of the time.

Double checked last night I to have the lights but they have never lit.

Same dash panel is used in 3&400 models and Kiotis. The CT1xx & CT2xx use a switch on the treadle pedal for neutral start so no indicator switch on the range lever. Kioti and larger Bobcats use the range selector for neutral start safety, so have the indicator switch.

I'm guessing those lights, at least based on what was posted here, are not used on the open station models. My CT335 cab has those lights and just about every dash light works contingent on what's being used, e.g., pto, cruise, etc.
