Description
When your rev counter needle starts bouncing around like a ping pong ball or quits working altogether, you’re flying blind on engine speed. That’s no way to run a tractor, especially when you need specific RPMs for PTO work or want to keep from over-revving your engine. This replacement tachometer cable gets your David Brown’s rev counter back to giving you the smooth, accurate readings you need to operate efficiently and protect your engine.
What You’re Getting
- 1230mm cable length that routes properly from transmission to dash without binding
- Steel inner cable that won’t stretch or break like the old one did
- 3/4-inch fitting at the transmission end and 5/8-inch at the gauge for proper connection
- Weather-resistant outer housing that handles moisture, dust, and farm conditions
- Direct replacement that bolts right in with no modifications needed
Built for Real Farm Work
Your David Brown 880 or 990 Selectamatic isn’t just sitting in the barn looking pretty. These mid-range tractors handle everything from cultivation and plowing to running balers and mowers on farms up to 200 acres. The 880 gives you solid 46-horsepower performance while the 990 bumps that up to 58 horsepower for heavier work. Both use that dependable Selectamatic 12-speed transmission that needs accurate RPM readings to work at its best.
Made to Last
After decades of vibration and temperature swings, tachometer cables eventually give up the ghost. This replacement uses a precisely wound inner cable that transmits rotation smoothly without the jumping and sticking you get with worn cables. The outer housing is built to handle the heat and moisture that come with farm life.
Installation Notes
This cable routes through your standard firewall grommet and connects directly to the transmission output and dashboard tachometer. Installation takes about 30 minutes with basic hand tools. Just make sure you route it the same way as the old one – sharp bends will cause premature failure. A little light oil on the cable ends during installation helps everything work smoothly from day one.
