BX24 Sending unit/fuel gage

[dougtrr2]

The fuel gage on my BX24 has quit working. I haven't done any extensive troubleshooting yet but I am pretty sure it must be the sending unit. The gage needle does cycle when the key is turned on so the gage apparently does still respond to input.

How tough is it to get to the sending unit on a BX24? Is it even worth the effort? I usually fuel up at the beginning of the day and have never run out. I am on a small acreage so even if I did run out I could walk back to the house for more fuel. Would appreciate any thoughts and experiences.

I believe you would have to pull the rear fender cowling off the tractor. Sending unit is on top of the tank if i remember right.
But before you do all that work, i would check for an open circuit first. Connectors/connections sometimes are the problem.
