Kubota BX2350D
BX2350D dead instrument cluster (water temp, fuel level) I used a holesaw to drill a hole into the instrument cluster, through the plexi glass, circuit board, and back cover. All of the idiot lights still work in the cluster after this. The fuel guage didn't work before this, so I look at the fuel level and try to keep it full to prevent condensation. I installed a water temp guage in the cluster and sealed it from rain. The guage is water proof. Haven't installed it yet. Still waiting on fittings to adapt British bspt or tapered fitting with a different thread pitch from npt fittings, should screw into Kubota head with 1/8" bspt and adapt to American 1/8" npt. The LED hour meter and tach still work. When they go out I'll replace them. Cheaper than $700 price tag the messics wants for a cluster
