2240. You can't buy just the tach, you have to buy the entire instrument cluster. AL31829 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 1,190.00 USD You can buy every piece except the tach, but not the tach. Go figure.

I have A JD 5520 and had a fogging issue with the instrument cluster that was replaced under warranty. It was free but the parts guy said "you wouldn't wabt to know the price." I didn't ask but am glad to know tach and instument clusters cost that much.
JD is great but it seems the time is ripe for a competing company that has a lower cost basis to gain greater dominance. Maybe Kubota.
The tach cluster prob comes from Mexico and can't cost more than $30.

$455 USD for yours. That's about the price I've heard for others with newer tractors. I think mine is higher due to supply and demand. Not many left in stock.

Received a UPS Email notification today. The cluster is scheduled to be delivered next Tuesday.

You know, just because not much else can go wrong, I'd disconnect the battery cable during the installation---just in case.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the heads up.

Did I mention that the repair comes with a one year warrenty?
