So one confirmed vote for batery water level and one for collant overflow bottle level. Which is it?

If there's no coolant in the overflow bottle then you add coolant to the line and the light stays off then I would say that's what it's for.Like others have said most of the lights have symbols so I 'm only guessing. russ

The battery light is on top. Overflow indicator light is bottom left. Neither indicates the engine overheating.
I haven't taken the dash apart to trace the wires, but when the tractor was cool, the light remained off.
There is wiring near the overflow (the bottle was/is at the low end, but contains fluid).
I'm not sure what effect temperature would have on the battery water level indicator. If it is hooked up, what is it attached to?

There is a sensor in the bottle and when it gets exposed to air it tells your light to come on. It will come on before bottle gets completely empty. The principle it works on is as the engine heats and coolant expands sometimes coolant will be pushed into the bottle. When system cools and coolant contracts sometimes coolant will be pulled out of the bottle and back in the radiator. Coolant temperature has nothing to do with the bottle sensor other than causing coolant to go in and out of the bottle. It is strictly a level sensor.

No wonder the fourth light threw me.Almost never would have thought they put a sensor for that. I guess I'm just to Old School. I always check my fluids before use Esp. if it's sat for a few days. The over flo bottle was like a old timey temp gauge. I always looked at the low water mark to make sure it's at or just above the add line and look at how high or how much is in it when hot. You can usally look to see much is in it and gives you a good idea of how hot it is running.

CAREYO63 ,I didn't know about that bottle until it happened to me and I read about it here.I'm thinking you should fill to the line on the bottle? russ
