YANMAR 2002D TACH CABLE LEAKING

[normde2001]

I suspect there is a seal of some type inside the gear housing. The cable housing is probably not intended to prevent leaks. Take a look.

My 2002D tachometer cable leaks where attached on housing in front of engine. One fellow said the housing would have to be changed to stop this. Any other advice out there? Also wondering what John Deere would be closest match to this Yanmar? Thanks, Winston

Just wanting everybody to know I have a new tach drive housing, o-ring, and tach cable ordered. Will not remove the old one till new one arrives. Might want to do a little work before then. I will inspect the old housing closely and report back any findings of interest. Thanks for all the input, Winston

Recieved my new parts from Hoye this morning and got them installed. No leaks now! The little tach drive housing has brass bushings in it that the 2 shafts run in. I suppose thru about 26 years of running the clearance had gotton great enough for oil to come up thru the housing. Thanks for all the advice on this project. Winston
