The specifications on this tachometer seems to be lacking and you're shooting in the dark if you purchase one. All we know that this tach is "variable frequency" (????? what does that mean?????) with out knowing the range of calibration. But I think that would depend on for WHAT Cub Cadet you wish to use it as you didn't say.

Many of those tachometers works for multiple cylinder or multiple pulses per revolution. Here is a example of an earlier thread last year: https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ght=tachometer

Perhaps you could be the lead man an take the risk of purchasing one and let us know how you make out? Or, ask the seller a question.... be specific about for what you intend to use it. You could always return it if it doesn't work.

I have had a tach in every auto I have owned since the late 60's. Don't really need one on "MY" tractor, but why not? Have a great day.

If you search for 1 cylinder tach on Ebay you'll find some ... there's one in the $23 range that looks fine for the job

Thanks, JBrewer. I saw them on ebay but I didn't want one that showed 8k on the gauge. Just wouldn't look right on a cub with a 3600 rpm limit. Thanks again and have a great day.

I dug up an old thread. This was a good topic! There's a lot to glean from this thread and maybe something could get (re-) started from this.

Put a digital tach on it,, you will not care if it reads to 20,000,,
you will never see anything higher than what the engine will rev,,

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
