hour meter

[Chuk]

I bought a used YM135 and would like to install an hour meter. Does anyone have an idea on where to source the parts I'll need? I'm guessing just a cable and meter would be all. This tractor apparently never had one.

You could try one of these, Tiny Tach.

Search on ebay for "hour meter". Here is the first one I came up with. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=66991&item=7524176595&rd=1 The rectangular one will fit better into your small dash. Consider putting it on the vertical surface by your knees. It'll require a rectangular hole to mount. Drill a couple of holes with a half in bit and then finish up with a sharp square file. You wire the meter to the RUN side of the ignition switch. NOT the start. The other lead goes to ground. The tiny tachs are nice, but they don't have a replaceable battery so tracking hours with them is worthless.
