How to remove dash from 855

[BigEddy]

Mice got behind the dash of my 855. I got them out of there but I can see where they nibbled the insulation off some of the wiring. I'd prefer to repair it now as have an issue later. I'll replace that blown bulb while I'm in there.

I took a quick look in the blowing snow and it seems like access will be difficult. I can remove the side panels but my hands still cannot get in there behind the fuel tank. My technical manual and the parts drawings do not clearly show how the dash fastens to the pedestal.

How do I get in behind the dash or remove it for access? Or do I remove the whole pedestal?

When I changed my flasher, I was able to pull it out to the side, so haven't had to get behind there before.

Thanks

Easiest way to access on my 955 is to remove the fuel tank.....and there's still not much room to get to things in there. I've not found a way to actually pull the dash panel away from the mounting frame without major disassembly of the tractor.

I've been putting off replacing one of the light sockets on mine for a while now.....

Remove the fuel tank. That requires removing a few other things. Removing the plastic dash gains you nothing as there isa steel panel underneath that is part of pedestal.
