Tach installed on BX

Thanks. I do much better in wood, but sometimes ya just have to work with metal...and aluminum is easy!

Sunday, I learned all about hydraulics, however...a little too much pressure left in the 'hoe when it was last taken off the machine resulted in a number of multi-syllabic unprintable phrases and a facial shower of hydo fluid. (Fortunately, I was wearing safety glasses at the time...)

Very nice job Jim! I installed my Tiny Tach a month or so ago and I noticed recently that the RPM readings were bouncing around quite a bit. I called Tiny Tach and they said that that problem is a symptom of moisture migration under the transducer. He asked if I sealed that transducer after I installed it (I didn’t) /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif. My tractor is at the dealer for the next 7-10 days while they try to determine why the Hydor pedal sticks intermittently /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. As soon as I get it back I will reinstall the transducer and seal it with paint. The folks at Tiny Tach are sure nice to deal with. They have a lot of patience with customers like me that sometimes do not follow directions! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yes, I gave the transducer a few squirts of "ROPS Grey" after I verified that the thang was actually working...'wouldn't want the fuel lines to rust, anyway!

Keep us posted on the pedal thing...many of us are experiencing it to some degree. I've had to learn to mentally adjust for it with my foot. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Rops Gray

I found Kubota Orange at TSC, but no gray. Any chance Kryon Gray is close? I hate buying expensive,
bad paint!

I got two cans of the orange--now if the tractor were just here!

One of the first mods will be to build a grill guard.............. and paint it gray or black.

THANKS.

Re: Rops Gray

Rust-oleum makes a gray that is very close. It is just a tad lighter than the Kubota gray. Bought mine at Home Depot. If you need the number of the paint, let me know and I will post it.

The bracket that my toolbox rests on is painted with the paint (see picture)

Re: Rops Gray

I took a walk down to the garage and the Rust-Oleum paint code is 7784 Charcoal Grey. Pretty close match. If anyone else has found a closer match, please post.

I had not had as good of luck applying rustoleum, but it is durable.

Appreciate the information.
THANKS

Re: Rops Gray

Thanks for all the comments, I just installed the Tiny Tach and it turned out GREAT! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I mounted it via the large screw and used a piece of angle iron painted black. I ran the wires via the throttle cable entry through the firewall and used the picture JRW posted to wire it via the extra connector above the battery. I tied wrapped the extra wire to the wire harness in the engine. I even printed out and laminated the RPM/PTO small chart Tractorless made and put it on the key ring.


This TBN site is the BEST.

Two questions... Who makes the "Sims Cab" and can you post a picture of it in its entirety? Second question is "does the Tiny Tach read the hours in operating hours that change with engine speed like a mechanical tach will or are they running hours like the factory tach on the BX series? Thanks .... Junkman
