Default K301 Tach
I wasn't sure if this needed to be in the 'General' talk or the 'Engine' forum. So, feel free to move this post where you feel it should be. But I was surfing through Ebay last night and came across a 1250 that had a tach in place of what was the hourmeter. I thought that was pretty cool. So I emailed the seller and asked him if he put that tach in and where he got it. He said he got it from Kirkengines.com. I have heard about this guy a time or two on this forum. But his site is currently down for maintenance. So, my question is this....does anyone know where he gets those tachs from? I don't see him making them....but then again he could be.

David Kirk use to sell a Analog Tach that would nicely fit into the Dash Panel of a Cub Cadet. He had these specially made up for him. Due to the "lack of enthusiasm, and poor sales, he discontinued offering that product. I have looked and looked myself, and can't find a good analog tach that was comparable. Now there are several "digital tachs" (ie: Sentac, Tiny Tach, etc) that can be used.

Well, that sucks. I found this pic while surfing the web. I'd love to get ahold of one.

I'd buy one also.

I wish I'd have bought one back when he was still selling/had them. It was a 'future plan' item.

Maybe we can try and get one of our sponsors to contact Kirkengines.com with hopes that they'd buy a contract of 100 from his supplier. There's already four of us just today that would pick one up.

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.
