I have a 1953 JD 50 and I saw over the summer a some guy's late model 50 which had a tach that was mounted close to the governer housing. I noticed a cable wire hooked up to the governor's housing that ran to the tach. My 50 needs a tach and hour meter and was wondering if there is any way possible to adapt this set up to my tractor. Would it be possible to find a tractor with this type of governor and tach setup and put it on my tractor? If anyone has any information or knows what I am talking about, please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Have a great new year.

The cable is still available from John Deere. Just purchased one for a 70.

Tye, the late '54 up governor & speed/hour meter parts will fit your '53 as the governor is basically the same. Or you could just find the later speed/hour meter with bracket & attaching hardware, cable drive, then you will also need the later longer governor shaft, L/H governor end cap, & a few other small parts.

Il've got a JD 60 with a tach. The shaft had been cut off for some reason. The new shaft from JD was $64.00. I had a mechanic press the gears off of it for me, but he forgot to take the govenor weights off before heating it and melted the lead weights. They are $50.00 each (2) at JD! Word to the wise-- don't melt them! Good luck!
