Update, I posted this a couple of weeks ago. And thought I would post the results here for the reference of the next person. I followed the advice of the group and called the fuel station. what they told me is their Kero is a further refined of the Dyed at this time of year. they did offer to...

It was red that is why I didn't notice until I read the receipt at home.

Thankfully not in the tractor yet, but when I went to town and filled the can I happened to notice (after I got home the receipt says I bought kerosene. Now I seam to remember in a pinch Kero could be substituted for #1 but was generally not recommended. Though I also seem to remember that was...

I tried forward, backward, turned, not turned, neutral, high, low, and off the lever doesn't want to budge. I don't want to yank too hard and break something. but have always wondered what was wrong or if it is something I am doing wrong.

Is there a procedure for using this? I ask as the lever does not want to budge from the off position, I read the manual but it didn't imply I would need to do anything special. So far I have gotten by with out, but would like to use on occasion.

Okay my owner's manual is not really very clear on if I need to do anything about this and not fact it doesn't even mention it. But, the bi-speed turn gearbox (I guess that's how I'd describe it). I noticed it has what appears to be a drain plug I do not see a fill point. Is it part of the front...

Oh, okay that's kind of what I thought but the instructions in the manual weren't very clear thanks for clearing that up.

Okay, I attached a picture of the manual, owner's manual that is. Where it says to drain the Front Mission case and shows an arrow pointing to a drain plug and it shows right below it the drain plugs for the rear Mission case my question is when I fill from the main rear fill plug,w I'll it fill...

Thanks for the compliment.

In response the back plate for the gauges is made of metal. No back lit option available. I looked to see if I could find a translucent plate to swap no luck so I went this way instead. Note I wanted to back light. preferred it even just didn't work out for me.

OK, here is what I ultimately did. I got there little licence led posts that screw through the holes in the plates and shine down on the plate. Then I dis-assembled my dash to get to the frame marked out two spots and drilled a hole through each. Installed the lights into the holes I just...

The trouble I have as I had the same idea the the face plate is metal. so from the back is a no go unless there is a kit to swap the face plate with something that can be backlit. But I can't seem to find anything like that out there. my other "idea" is to use little LEDs drill a couple of holes...

I am new and this is my first post. I have been looking for a while now and have not found this topic come up. I have a '97 kubota B1700 tractor. currently the instrument panel in not lit. is there a kit or mod or replacement part that will light the dash without having to duct tape a...
