Welcome to TBN.
Do you have mice; tractor stored outside or inside?
Can you easily remove the dash panel, and or fuse box housing or get access to the back of the panels to look for chewed/frayed wires?
How many hours on the machine?
Any prior electrical issues or wacky gauge activity recently?
Until you have determined problem's cause I would disconnect the batteries negative cable as a precaution when not in use.

No sign of mice. The tractor has 208 hours on it. It is keep in a barn. The gauges did come and go, but now will not work. Will try to take dash out. But did not see any frayed wires.

Before you remove the dash check the back of the fuse panel first. Do you have a Mahindra service manual or dealer nearby?
You need to determine what controls your gauges, most likely a relay that's not working properly. Without a wiring diagram it will be difficult to determine the cause of why the fuse blows, unless something like chewed wires present as an obvious cause.

ITS A 7.5 FUSE. NO OBVIOUS WIRE DAMAGE. I DO NOT HAVE A SERVICE MANUAL.

Turn off caps. Dealer nearby? You need wiring diagram/service manual to solve this problem.

I pull the fuse panel and no damage

. I unplug the dash and cleaned the connectors and the dash works now. There was fuel and dust may have been the problem.
