Anyone know if a 200 can use the 240's tach parts? http://partstore.caseih.com/us/parts-search.html#epc::mr02-144ar02-144-599-26840 [Reply]   [No Email]

The I-240 and F-240 don't even have the same gears and use different tachs. PTO gearing changes would alter the tach face too. There are 4 different tachs for the 130/140 tractors. One of them might be a better match. [Reply]  [No Email]

Neat feature but a lot of $$$. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'd pay a good $300 for a tach. Neat, but I got other things to fix/replace first. Maybe I'll ask Santa lol. [Reply]  [No Email]

Last night I did do a few searches and those 240 parts are very hard to find... I would assume that the 200 & 240 have the same gears/speeds/rpms. Jim Becker- That is what I was wondering, if it would work with my 200. I did find the tach gear for around $90, and that doesn't include the gear housing or the cable etc. I would def need to mount the gauge near instrument panel or maybe on the light bar if the 48" cable was long enough. > Interesting add-on feature if it'll work out. I am looking to add-on an hour meter at some point. Thanks for the input. May keep my eyes open for those parts in the future... [Reply]  [No Email]

If you look at the description, it only lists the 240. A tach for a 200 or 230 would at a minimum require different mounting brackets as the 240 tach is mounted in the instrument panel. I don't know if IH made one for the 200/230. [Reply]  [No Email]

Directly under the distributor you should see a small metal plate held on by 2 screws. That's the tach drive port. If you can find the parts you can add a tachometer. The hard part is finding the tach drive housing and gears. [Reply]  [No Email]
