Ground is good, got 12 volts but missing 7 volt, research says the 7 volt comes from the 12V through a voltage regulator/limiter. Can’t find the limiter, supposed to be on the back of the printed circuit board of instrument panel. Problem started when I replaced the panel bulbs with LED’s, I had also replaced the glow plug relay, controller and shutoff timer relay at the same time. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Any chance the fact that LEDs draw significantly less current than 12 volt incandescent bulbs is part of your challenge?
I kicked that idea around but according to the wiring diagram it shouldn’t make a difference, plus all the lights are off once the tractor starts up. It’s no big deal to put the bulbs back in to see if that makes a difference.
would need to see picture of the panel as well as wiring diagram though it sounds 'old skool' + 12 to VR to gauges to sensors. so no LEDs will not be the problem.
You could have lost ground to the VR, depending on type of VR used. Old style would be bimetallic controller, new will be electronic.
