Has anyone figured out a way to hook the tractormeter up to a Delco Remy alternator conversion? Should the cable turn once for every turn the armaeture turns?
Thanks!!

Check out ebay. I bought the 12v alternator with tach drive off there. You just have to get the correct tachdrive cable and you're good to go.

I have a 57 TO-35 with a one wire alternator and I have a tachometer attached. It is an elcctric type that hooks up to the coil. It fits exactly into the hole where the old tractormeter fit. the only thing I don't like is that it registers up to 8000 rpm. Needless to say i don't need that much. It only cost about $30 at a local Parts Plus store.

I have seen a MF tractor with what looked like a factory alternator setup complete with tach drive gearbox. I don't remember the model no..Perhaps Big Dean would know.

Hello, I have been told that a 12V generator with the gearing for the tractometer is available. Supposedly same generator used on the MF100 series tractors. I know it is not an alternator but for a meager sum of $300 you could get the tractometer back. My TO35 had a 12V generator on a original 6V system. I changed the system to 12V using the 12V generator and it works just fine. Need to spend the $300 to complete the task.

The mention of the gearing on the generator should answer the question regarding 1:1 rotation ratio. No, there is a gear box required.

hope I helped you out. John

I was wondering the same thing myself. My T0-35 came with a new one wire Delco alternator, and the tractormeter is not hooked up to anything right now. I really love the convenience and extra power of an alternator, but it is a nuisance not to have a tach. Any ideas, guys?

hey guys...i've asked around about this question and so far i haven't ever found any way to hook up the tractormeter tach without having the original genny. so it's either a tach with the genny, or an alternator.
