3600 instr. panel update

Update on the lights,

when i turn key on, the battery and air filter light come on, thats it-no others. after i crank it the batt light goes off, and now instead of flickering on and off the air filter light stays on.( i did mess around with the air filter assembly- did not remove just straigtened it up and tightened the cover screw down.)

while it was running i pulled the connector to the oil sender and the oil light did not come on. the original harness looks intact. i bought it from the original owner and said he never had trouble with it, just bought a new tractor. it has 2300 hrs. the tractor has not been repainted and it looks to have the original blue paint on the engine gaskets.

another piece of info that may help... the valves clatter like i would have the cover off. very noisy like they are loose/worn... perhaps due to a lack of oil???

anyway, the engine runs pretty good, cranks right up. i just need a way to figure out the oil pressure light. can a bulb be burnt? i have air filters ordered in the meantime.

thanks for any guidance,
david
 
Did the air cleaner light go out when you disconnected the oil pressure switch wire? If so, the circuit is working as intended, and your oil light bulb is likely burned out. The oil light should come on when you ground that wire against ground, along with the air cleaner light. They designed it that way so you would know that the air cleaner light bulb is good, otherwise it would never come on normally.
 
Have you tried unplugging the wires at the air cleaner switch? If the air cleaner light goes out then, you have a bad air cleaner switch. If the light stays on with the wires unplugged from both the oil and air switches, then you have a short in the wiring somewhere.
