Just recently picked up a 1080 for putting up hay and had to replace the tachometer and cable. For the life of me I cannot find where the cable plugs into the tractor. I've looked all over and for some reason I keep over looking it. Does anyone have a picture where it plugs into? Thanks
 
If it's a cab tractor with air it's like the 1085, cable goes to the small right angle gear box on the timing cover. No cab parts list shows a different cable part # that goes to the gearbox on the rear of the alternator.
 
This is the only spot I can find that it would go but it doesn't fit unless I have the wrong cable
 
The alternator could have got swapped out for one that doesn't allow for the tach drive on the rear of it. The rear of the alternator should have a little box on the back of it like this

Thanks for all of the replies. The alternator has for sure been swapped so I'm not able to hook the tach I have up to it. Looks like I'll have to swap the alternator if I want the tach hooked up.
