None of the gauges on my tractor work (tach, hour meter, fuel, temp), however, the idiot lights all work. It appears they've not worked for years as the hour meter shows 1006 hours but I suspect it's much more than that based on paint wear and such.

Is this a common issue that might have an easy solution (like a single wire that's shared between all of the gauges that could be fixed and all of them start working) or is this a much more difficult issue to resolve?

These parts are either not available or crazy expensive so I'm hoping the actual gauges aren't faulty. If they are, I'll be looking into building a new panel with "universal" gauges if I can figure out how to get it all working.

Thanks for your input.

You have an overwhelming theme going on with electrical problems.
Get a good test light and use the WSM to find out what is and is not getting power.
The hour / Tach is mechanically driven so it's not an electrical issue.
