    Reducing hr meter

    Cliffboyer - I overcame my slyness and did as you suggested - effectively moved the meter. Worked like a charm. Thanks Just as an experiment, I took the salvage meter and using a small square bit and a drill to spin the meter. Worked both for spinning it up and spinning it down. I did not...

    B2400 fuel gauge and temperature gauge not working

    Messicks and a couple dealers said no. I guess should have called ColemanEquipment

    B2400 fuel gauge and temperature gauge not working

    I finally solved all my instrument panel issues with the help of this forum and wanted to recap: 1. My initial problem was that the fuel gauge and temp gauge did not move much at all at startup or during use. A secondary problem was that the light and hazards did not work. 2. The repair of...

    Reducing hr meter

    I am gun shy about going back into the meter. I am going to the dealer today to see if they'll do it.

    B2400 HSD - does anyone know where the temp sensor is?

    I have a number of posts relating to my panel gauges reading incorrectly. Thanks to this forum, I believe I understand the fuel gauge issue thanks to this forum's help. I also want to test the temp sensor (while the tractor is disassembled), but can't find it. Anyone know? Thanks

    Reducing hr meter

    GeoHorn - I will do that. SDT and Lil Foot - Seems like maybe I can an maybe I can't. Whether it would work or not maybe a Kubota specific issue. Henro - has 4 digits + 1/10 hr digit. I have 1200 hrs so it would not be quicker but might be safer. I like the idea of switching out the hour...

    Reducing hr meter

    I have a B2400 HSD which has a problem, I believe, with the fuel and temp gauges. I have many recent posts on this forum regarding this issue. I just bought a salvage electrical panel - the panel shows ~7000 hrs. My tractor has approximately 1200 hrs on it. Can I safely "spin" the hrs back...

    B2400 fuel gauge and temperature gauge not working

    I pulled the panel from the tractor about an hour ago - no connection to power/tractor. The temp gauge remains maxed out and the fuel gauge reads 1/2 full. Got to be the gauges - right? No power - no readings?

    B2400 fuel gauge and temperature gauge not working

    I did check the connector and plug for corrosion - they look fine. Also verified continuity between the YG wire at the fuel sensor to the plug - fine. Checked the the fuel gauge continuity on the panel between U terminal and IGN; and the U terminal and the GND terminal - both showed...

    B2400 fuel gauge and temperature gauge not working

    Thanks - I will check the connections between the plug and the panel and see what I can see. This perhaps explains both the fuel gauge and temp gauge problem. I am still unable to locate the temp sensor but perhaps I don't have to if its the panel connections. I did disassemble the tractor...

    B2400 fuel gauge and temperature gauge not working

    I do have the WSM however my electrical diagnostic skills leave much to be desired. My original understanding of Wolfman's comment above was that there was a single ground point for both the temp and fuel gauge. I now suspect the schematic just symbolizes that both the fuel and temp sensors...

    B2400 fuel gauge and temperature gauge not working

    Makes sense - I know the grounds for these 2 gauges were linked on the panel board. You would know where this ground is located? Thanks
