On my gc2610, I had the same problem. The problem was behind the tach where the cable comes in and the gears comes together. There would be enough moisture in the "grease" to cause it to freeze up. I would lube it with a very light weight grease and would have no problems.
I already squirted some 3n1 oil in there, no effect. I guess I could take one of those needle fittings on a grease gun and force some grease in there.
looks like you might want to convert to a digital tach like the BX kubota's
I don't like digital tachs. Also, (imho) I think the tractor I already own is better than a bx, that's why I bought it. On the other hand, Kubota may be a vastly superior company to deal with regarding warranty and support but I have never dealt with them so I just don't know. In the tractor sizes above the gc/bx I would seriously consider Kubota.
