My tachometer backing is lifting on my 1025r causing the needle to get stuck and not function correctly. I would like to try and repair it or get a new one. First how do I remove the cluster. It seems it is bolted from the back but how do you access all of the bolts?

I don't have a 1025 but I just disassembled my 2320 to instrument panel and looking at the parts catalog for the 1025 it looks like the same process will be required. I had to remove the steering wheel and the boot that is around the steering pedestal and then remove the bolts holding the instrument panel in place and then you can get at the back of the panel to remove the instrument cluster. Here's a link to the JD parts catalog to see a breakdown of the parts.
Good luck.

I’m way out of the warranty period since I bought the tractor in 2013. I guess buying a new one is probably my best bet. I’ll have to wait till the weather cools and have time to tear it apart.

I had a friend have this same problem. Part of the background matte was lifting and the needles were sticking on it. He took the cluster out and split it open then superglued the matte back down put the cluster back together with silicone clear and put it back in. It's been 2 years and no problem. On my wife's Yukon I pulled the cluster out and sent it in and had the tiny servos replaced and it worked great. I say take your time and crack it open and glue it down. Good luck.

It looks like the cluster is just a pain to get out. If I can get it out easily and can it it open, I wouldn’t mind opening it and super glue it down. Can you ask your friend the easiest way to get the cluster out? I hate having to take the entire console apart.
