My step dad was working on the dash on the 7100 trying to figure out where all the wires went and clean up the under side of the dash since much else can't be done till we get it running. We couldn't figure out the oil pressure lamp we had a broken bulb connected to some wires and we had the pressure red lamp mounted in the dash. The light socket was larger than the lamp housing in the dash but it was the only thing we had that could remotely match up since it was the only light socket for a light under the dash. He took it all off and carried it to a near by kubota dealer and the guy gave him a good fix. Instead of buying the whole assemble you find a bulb to go into the socket small flash light bulb or what have you. Leave the red lense mounted in the dash and buy a straight spark plug wire rubber boot. Disconnect the wires from the harness feed them through the large end of the spark plug boot to the small end. Put bulb in and slide it deep inside spark plug boot then force the boot end over the nut portion of the lense on the underside of the dash. I will get some pics up to better describe it tonight. I thought it was a nice cheap fix for an oil pressure lamp.

Had issue finding a bulb that would fit inside of the lense housing so the solution was to pull most of the light fixture portion through the bottom of the short ( distributor plug) to allow the bulb and nut portion of the lense in the plug at the same time . It took some working to get it pushed through but it made it finally. Pressed the bulb in and then the lense nut pressed on snug .

I didn't know what the original looked like. Just a hanging broken bulb and a lense in the dash is all we had.
