I'd make the cross bar on the bucket lift removable, Or a lift hold bar and raise the lift all the way up and drop the bar in so you could open the hood all the way.
Those brass fine thread are for compression fittings young man 😊,the chrome hole is your glow plug indicator when it turns orange your glow plugs are hot 😊
With the key turned on and the engine not running the ALT light inside the RPM guage should be burning brightly. When you start the engine the ALT light goes out. Likewise when shutting down the engine the ALT light should come on when the engine stops turning over. If the wiring is still in factory configuration it will not charge the battery with the key turned off. Check the ALT light bulb inside the RPM guage and see if it's maybe burned out. My 76 Kubota L185 is still all original, if you have any wiring questions, or other questions, I may can look at mine and get the answer for you.
Thank you, the lights for the alt and oil pressure both still work in the dash but they only light up if the engine is running to slowly to make pressure/ amps . I'm not sure why they don't light up when the key is on and the engine is off. It's been a great little tractor this past year, thank you for the offer .
I have the exact same tractor. The key can be turned off as soon as the engine fires. Also, on mine the wiring crosses from the left side of the machine to the right in front of the fuel tank. 🤷🏻♂️
I am guessing that things changed in the assembly of the machine based on what options you ordered with it. Does the alternator still charge the battery with the key off? I didn't check to see if its self exciting.

Absolutely first class old school. Great job, thanks. 👍
