Hi all.

I’m to the world of kubota tractors and the local club i volunteer for has the above issue

Ek1-261 model and all gauges are stuck and the tractor won’t turn off by the key, I’ve
checked all fuses and left negative terminal off battery for 10mins.

Has anybody got an idea of what the issue(s) are?

That is a model which is not found in the USA. The Park light is on, but the hour meter is blank.
Check the wiring behind the operator's display panel.

Are you saying the temperature gauge never moves off cold, the fuel gauge never moves off near full, and the tachometer never moves off 1,000 rpm?

If so, I'd suspect something is physically holding the needles. Perhaps the lens or backplate are rubbing. The temp and fuel gauges are electric and should move downscale with no power.
