Original Tach and hours meter

[DrCJV]

I recently purchased a NOS tach-hours meter for my cub. I have been told these are quite rare and valuable. Is that correct. Secoundly does anyone Know where or how it was mounted or does any one have a picture of such. This is my first post and any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Doc, welcome to the site Wish I had a Cub tach,,,,,,,,Here is a recent thread on a Cub tach http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11757 There was also some pics somewhere here of the tach installed on the cub but I could not find them, maybe some one else can link it up.........

Welcome to the Forum, DR!!

I am sure that you will find the folks here REALLY helpful...and very adept at helping to feed your obsession with these little worker-bees!

I have begun my personal search for the right cub for me and I live in the city!

Good luck!

Does this help any?

DrCJV:

First, to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met

If you look for posts from NOSIH, he has had a number of threads on exactly this subject, NOS tachs...

Not sure how much info is available in the Parts Manuals, might be worth looking into...

You are kind of fortunate, as NOS tachs, mounts and cabling have been known to sell very recently for what a Cub is worth in many parts of the US and Canada... $700.00US plus.... so you got yourself a fine accessory, one many of us would probably like to have some day.

Welcome again, enjoy the forum and enjoy the reading..

Ok, so here is the spiel :

I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub.


Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These are intended to complement the businesses who support FarmallCub.com Website.

I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.

IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's . Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are two must have's in anyone's collection.

In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.

I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, to the Cub Family

[Pudgy]

Sir, go to my user gallery and see three pictures of the mount on my tractor. Hope this helps...

[DrCJV]

Pudgy Those new pics were great showed me just what I needed. Couple of questions. Where and how is the Tach cable routed and what is the round thing that is hose clamped to the governor controls? Thanks again for all the help.

Good to have you aboard, Doc.

[Pudgy]

Sir, look at the picture above. On the left side, front hole, dash to tank bolt there is a clamp to hold the cable. Cable then goes under tank over hydraulic unit and under distributor. Hope this makes sense. Pudgy

[Pudgy]

Sir, That small round thing is a gas tank. I have it clamped there so I can run the motor. I'm having my hood painted. Hope this helps Pudgy
