BX dash moisture solution?

[CalG]

The dash on my Hurlimann was all watered up when I got it.
I built a shed to put the tractor in. Now the dash stays dry and clear . ;-)

My BX is always covered when not in use... and rarely in any measurable precipitation when in use... it's a seal/moisture thing.

I never had this problem, but I did put a Curtis Cab on it after owning it a few months. It never sits outside, it's either in my detached garage or the pole barn. Since I now know that it's a luxury machine, I'll be asking my dealer where my chrome wheels and leather seat are located!

My BX1870 has always had moisture behind the glass. The RPM stopped 1st. And now the fuel and temp just flash full to empty , hot to cold. Bad design. Thinking it might be because of the radiator being so close... BTW hour meter and backlight works fine..

My dash seems to be building up more moisture behind the glass and would like to rid the problem. Anyone remove/reseal the glass or do anything to solve the problem?

Ummm? Move to EASTERN Washington State?

Well it has been almost 5 years since I posted that complaint. I still live in Western Washington but since then I did buy an RV to go east and south as necessary for warmer and dryer locales!

Y'all should check with a Kubota dealer about these BX clusters. There is an extended warranty on BX1870, BX2370, BX2670 and BX25 instrument clusters to four years from the retail date. There may be some coverage for a few of you.

Excellent advice RickB as usual. Maybe the new ones fixed a flaw.

Once trapped water is hard to leave without a drain or vent. Shocked to see my truck headlights plastic housing foggy and liquid water in the bottom. Figured I didn’t have much to loose so drilled some small drain holes. Surprised the moisture went away after awhile and stayed away.

Have also heated up a small bent rod to melt a hole in plastic where I could not get a drill.

I lost the hr meter/tach function on the 2660 4-5yrs ago. If I position the tractor and have just the right amount of light I can see the hrs flash, but that only recently. I have been estimating oil change times. I just pulled the 700 hr service and was able to see the hr meter at 678, so close. I think it was $400 or so for a new part.
