Allee,

Thanks, I have had my ford for close to 8 years. it had two other owners and they were gentle with it. All they have done to it was oil change. I have worked on it a lot but nothing major. I have not open the tach up but I remember I suggested using a drill to turn the cable going to tach to see if it works. The basic tach rotation induces a magnetic field and the needle would respond to it. With proper calibration RMP can be represented. I know HF sells after market tach that is easy to install. Some tach can be used a long with a magnet to generate pulse associated with the engine rotation and representing RPM. They are very inexpensive and easy to install.

jc,

Wow! I know I've said it before but what a nice looking tractor. Have you had it a long time.

Any idea where I can find a tach to replace mine? I don't think it's rebuilable.

HF is a short form for Harbour Freight, They sell mainly China made low quality and cheap tools. They have a lot of consumables that are pretty cheap. They have a few things far and few in between that are good quality or no less than what you buy elsewhere that is China made.

JC,
