instrument panel glass cloudy white

And of course the new one clouded up just like the original.

If you remove the glass lens from the rubber gasket and put some clear silicone on both sides of the
gasket, that should fix the fogging problem. The cluster is not hard to remove.

I had mine replaced under warranty and my 1600 hour 4410 now shows only 1000 hours. The new panel is no different than the old. Nice to hear it's an easy fix.

Had the same problem on my 4610. Glass would cloud up after several hours. Did it from the first day so JD replaced it under warranty New one did the same thing, so like others, I just lived with it. Several months ago, I started having trouble with erroneous readings on the temp gauge. Traced the problem back to the panel. The gauge is an integral part of the panel circuit board so you have to replace the whole panel to get a working gauge. Don't know if years of this problem caused it or not. I like to think it did. And like pmsmechanic, my 1800 hr 4610 now only has 100 hrs on it. If I keep my mouth shut, I might do pretty good on a trade, ya think? ;-) Oh, and by the way, the brand new panel does the same thing. Clouds up after about 4 hours.

It is not just John Deere, I bought a new Harley in 2003 and it has done the same thing since day one. Dealer response"they all do it so it is normal". No it is a defect in your design that all suffer from.
