I ended up placing damp paper towels on the clear plastic Instrument panel cover, I just gently dabbed them on the panel then removed this helped to remove some of the thick dried dust (dirt) from the panel I repeated a few times then soak the paper towels in a soapy solution and rung it out so...

I don't want to use lots of water as the Instrument panel (Clear plastic" cover is separated from dash see https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32523

How do you keep your Instrument Cluster panel clean without scratching it? Did a few searches and did find anything about how to keep the plastic Instrument screen clean. Even l checked the Operators Manual My Tractor is M5140HD Thanks

Tractor is an M 5140HD, First I am not sure if the cover is plastic or glass it is covered in thick dust. I would guess I should clean it with a damp wet micro cloth as if it is plastic I do not want to scratch it. How do you clean yours Thanks

What is the black (caulk) (silicone) product did you use to reseal it ? Thanks

Well I found the problem, I came prepared today, I brought vise grips and a flashlite also many misc tools and a shop lite if I really needed to tear into it as it was parked in a dark shed with no room to even walk around it. I had to stand on a Rotary mower. Anyway popped the hood and to a...

Yes, You are correct. "The engine quits running when it no longer has fuel" Yes wouldn't it be great if that statement was not true. I would save a lot of $$

As far as it not starting and running: Did it get run out of fuel? Air in the injection lines ? Answer, It shouldn't have as I fill it everytime I finish using it, But I will check it anyway to be sure. Does it have the wrong fuel in it? Gasoline versus diesel Answer, I only place diesel in it...

Anyone with a B1750 or B1550 when you place the key in the run positon (before turning the key to start engine positon) do any of the panel lites come on?

I just remembered I downloaded an Operators Manual for the B1750 earlier and took a look and yes thats the manual shut down control (she had called the choke) I never heard of a choke on a diesel and never used it. Bet when it didn't start right up as it was cold yesterday (tractor sits for...

Would this be a red (I think as tractor is at my friends house 6 miles away) Knob located on the operators right under the dash. If so this may be what my friend was calling a choke and it she pulled it out That could be what is causing the problem??

What and where is this shut down control located ? Do you happen to have a picture of it ? Thanks Bill

Tractor will not start. B1750HST-D is the model, panel lights do not come on now when key is turned to the first position (run) and when key is turned to the start position, the engine turns over fine. NO smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe. I suspect that a perhaps a switch is not being...

I am always wrapping a crack in my wife's Vacuum Cleaner, I use electrical tape on it too.
