I have US version MF 135 but I inadvertently bought a tach/speedometer on ebay that is in kph instead of mph. (It wasn't a very clear picture and I wasn't sure what I was looking at). I would like to keep it instead of going through the hassle of returning it (if possible). I have been looking at the tach cables and one is for the kph and the other is for mph, so my question is, if I buy the cable for the kph, will it work with my tractor? Thanks, Matt

Other than threads to attach a tach cable is just a turning cable. X turns per minute = y on the gage.

You may have to learn to make the coversion that 1.6 kph equals each 1 mph. So 16 kph = 10 mph. 8 kph = 4 mph.

There were different cables for Perkins gas, diesel and Continental gas engines and I think the Perkins may have run the opposite direction. The tach on a Perkings comes off a fitting on the engine blocks, the drive on a Continental gas comes off a reversing gear on the back of the generator.

Changing the cable won't change the speed, its just a flexible cable. I've never found a gear box to fit an alternator like the one that fits the generator.

Time for a new post on epay with a better description?

The only reason it might be different would be if the tach has different threads for the cable or is from a different manufacturer. If everything was the same it should work. Perhaps a dealer might have an explanation of the differences. I've also heard that some UK tractors tachs turn the opposite direction. Dave
