Will a governor off a later model 8N with the speed shaft adapter interchange with my existing governor and will the sheet metal that holds the instruments interchage with my current sheet metal ? Thank you in advance for any help that is offered. [Reply]   [No Email]

(ie....proof of performance) Me? I'd squander $25 (cheap) for a dashboard mounted liquid crystal tachometer that couples the sparkie off'n #4 cylinder. You doubt? Check out Northern Hydraulics ...or... yer local commercial lawnmower supply store. Just sticky-back the 1x2" LCD display to yer dashboard above yer oilpressure gauge. Simple, eh? .........tacho Dell [Reply]  [No Email]
