My Tach is shot. While looking online I am a bit stumped.
I see the version for the GAS model, so I am good there.
I need a drive cable. is 56" right?
I also see a Drive Adapter, what is that for?
Also there is a cable adapter, what is that for?


Also I am still looking for Vinyl Decals for a Series II. I see Series I and III,IV stuff but not II

This is the closest set I have found for decals but it does include items that don't apply to my model.

Charlie -
I bought a new tach cable for my Series I, I think was 60" but I am not sure.  I know there is plenty of slack in it.  Also I don't have power steering so I don't know if that moves the dist or not.
There is an adapter piece that is more less just a round rod with a flange  and a tab on one end.  The tab fits into a slot in the end of the shaft that drives your distributor.  The other end has a hole drilled into it with a slot.  This piece is supported by the adapter that screws into the base of the dist housing on one end and has the speedo cable threads on the other.  
Evidently the original cables had a cable end that was round with a tab sticking up, it would fit into the hole in the end of the adapter and the tab goes in the slot to drive the cable.  The cable I bought from my dealer had a regular automotive style square end on it.  There adaptors out there that will change from square to the tab, I think MSD has them on their website.  They are a bit large though so you would have to turn them down from 0.18 to 0.15" I think.  I bought a plastic adapter that fit will, but the first cold spell we had it cracked.  So I coated it with JB liquid steel and carefully fitting it back into the adapter, making sure none got into the square hole.  Let it sit 36 hours and it has been working fine.  Tach works but the hourmeter part quit functioning.  Dang.
cheers,
Creek

If the tractor is a true series Two Then the only decals are the D-17 in a rectangle decals for traction booster and small decals like that. If your tractor is missing the allis chalmers on it then you are going to want the Metal plates. Many parts dealers on here should have them.
