The neutral light doesn't come on when in neutral. Is that a common problem? Could it simply be the light bulb in the cluster or might it be something else?
That is not a rare occurrence. It could be the bulb; it could be wiring within the instrument cluster, but it could also be the gear position indicator switch on the rear of the transmission and the wiring from there to the instrument cluster. Does your gear position display indicate neutral and the other gear positions accurately? If it does then checking the bulb first might be the way to go. Then you can clean all pin connections to and within the cluster which oxidation and idleness might have compromised.

Read this for an overview of gear position indicator functions. There are threads here describing all angles of maintenance and function.

Thank you, Laitch! My gear position display doesn't indicate neutral nor any other gear positions. I'll check out the link you provided so I can get down to the bottom of this.

Another question: how many miles are on my brick?I know it sounds like a stupid question but my mind is playing tricks on me.

Really it only has 4,000 miles on it? I always assumed the counter was in miles, not that the last one was in 1/10th's, however as documented my speedo doesn't work so thanks for the info.

Gryph's assessment may be off a trifle. He says he doesn't pay attention to which key he's tapping.  :yes

Haha! I love this place

So I just pulled the cluster apart and tested the light bulb...it's fine. Once I get it back together I'll investigate the other possibilities.

Pithy, jack. Those long hours on the tractor must be inspirational, or harrowing. :giggles
