I recently purchased a John Deere 1530 diesel and have been going through it. The tach / speed gauge was smashed and the drive cable missing from inside the sheath, so I got new parts. However, when I insert the cable into the mounting hole in the bell housing, it does not engage anything. Is there a serviceable drive gear? I assume based on the location that the cable should be driven by a gear that's driven by the flywheel teeth, am I on the right track?

Welcome to TBN
Don't have an answer.

Essentially, an aftermarket equivalent from Steiner.

Tach drives usually drive off the front of the engine, never heard of any that drive off a flywheel. Call your local JD dealer and ask them, maybe you'll get an answer, maybe not.

Tachometer on JD utility tractors built from '65-'75 are driven from rear of the engine camshaft via a driveshaft. Numbers in footnotes refer to numbers marked on camshaft.

You know better than I do and I believe I stated that. OP stated the flywheel and I've never heard of any tach drive off the flywheel.
Thanks! That's exactly the insight I needed.

I fail to see where you stated I knew better than you.
Tach drive on these model JD utility tractors attaches to flywheel housing therefore I understand why ftyarker thought tachometer was powered by the flywheel.

I haven't given any thought to getting my "New Member classification" changed because it doesn't bother me. I thought after several yrs of being a New Member the moderators of this forum would change my site member classification BUT I GUESS NOT!
