Bought this tractor last fall. Realized that I had been running it for nearly a year without the hourmeter recording. Tach cable broke which is what attracted my attention to it. Installed new cable and decided to add some hours to try to make the thing more accurate. Hooked the cable to a drill and away we went. The tach ran up to 2000 rpms and the hour meter went merrily on it's way recording time just as if the engine was running at 2000 rpm's. So I got curious. How do the cheaters cheat on things like that and back in the old days running speedometers back? From what I observed you ain't gonna get there from here cause they lap just like you put them on....so to add or remove say 100 hours you would have to run the drill 100 hours, or in the case of a car to take off 10,000 miles you would have to run the drill the equivalent time to cover that distance at whatever speed you were indicating. Funny, I heard about it all my life but just now wondering how it was done. Mark
