 Topic: 1965 190XT tachometer question.
Posted: 17 hours 35 minutes ago at 2:17pm |

Hi all. Playing with my 190xt again. It is now running well. The tach does not work and I can't find anything in my books on how it works/drives. I am guessing it would drive off of the distributor base. Is there supposed to be a cable for it? The tractor is showing 3957 hours. Which obviously, are not current. It is not important. I just like to have things working. Maybe the head unit is junk. I don't know that yet. I am sure some could be electrical. I would guess this tractor is old enough to not have that. I am not doing a restoration on this tractor. I am a patina guy. The tractor looks great to me. When I figure out how to post a picture of it. I will. Thanks Pat

Tach is not electric. Cable driven off the engine. Diesel engine has a drive on the left side. Not sure where it is on the gas engine, but without a cable, your tach will not work.
Cable might also be broken inside - mine was. Replaced the cable and everything worked again.

It drives off the cam / oil pump - mid block - the gas has a 90 degree plug on the distributor base that contains the tach drive mechanic and male threads for the cable. 74054851 IS THE PLUG parts.agco

Most likely broken cable, easy to check. Unscrew it from the tach, start the tractor and see if it’s turning. Star Speedometer in FL will make a new cable or repair the tach. Not cheap, but he guarantees them for a year. He has repaired 4 for me and they look new when I get them back. I highly recommend him.
