Hello!
I have a 1958 International Harvester Model 340 Utiity. When it was in the shop over the winter to repair the hydraulics, I had the shop repair the tachometer, which has never worked since I purchased the tractor. I know the tach is working because the "hour meter" IS moving. However, the tach needle bobbles extemsively as if it was indicating more the vibrations of the tractor. As it is running now, I can only "ball park" the rpms of the tractor (in a 400 rpm range). I can only presume this is not the way the tachometer is supposed to work.
Is there anyone out here that has an IHC that can tell me whether they can get a relatively precise RPM reading for their tractor? I am inclined to believe I need to replace the tachometer. Currently, my tachometer is reminiscent of a cheap compass caught between multiple magnetic fields.
