[Farmall] tachometer

[John Hall]

Bob, don't know if I'll get to take pictures before the tractor goes home 
but the tach itself is on a bracket that I believe was bolted to the right 
side of the frame the hydraulic lever goes into. It had something very 
similar to a hose clamp to hold the gage in place. I don't know where the 
cable is supposed to be routed but this one was not under the hood or 
anything. It was shoehorned by the clutch pedal--kind of like the battery 
cable (you'd think IH could have done better than that). I don't recall any 
brackets/clips for the cable--that's not to say they weren't some 60 years 
ago. The casting where the distributor mounts may be special as the cable 
goes in at an angle under the distributor.
