I recently bought a new (to me) what appears to be a mid-70's 135 - yellow variety. I'm trying to get it back in shape and I've made it to the tachometer. The tach was busted when I got it and it didn't have a tach cable. The threads were broken off the tach drive plate. I made a new threaded piece on the lathe and pressed it in to the existing plate. When I hooked everything up and tried to put in the air cleaner, I saw why it was broken. This tractor has an air cleaner that is mounted laterally - under the battery - and it seems the normal way is to have it mounted lengthwise. There is no room for the cable and it's getting kinked. I'm trying to upload a picture. I don't think it's working.
Was this tractor supposed to have the cable mounted to the generator? Is there a right hand drive out there? Is there a cable with a curve in it to clear the air cleaner? Should I just change to the other air cleaner? Any other ideas?
