    Posted: 09 Nov 2010 at 5:55pm
 I have just exchanged a gasoline powered F-2 combine with an F diesel engine. I have had complete success with the exception of getting the tachometer hooked up. The F-2 gas model used a sensor in the flywheel housing to sense engine RPM but the diesel has no sensor in the flywheel housing. Does anyone know where the diesel gets its tach impulses from. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Hey HTH; I sure appreciate the quick answer. I think that you could be right. I did notice that the alternator on the F diesel had previously replaced with a cheaper alt with built in regulator. I guess I need to look up orignal alternator and see if it had a tach wire. Thanks Again.

look at the main drive pulley there should be notches on it where a magnetic pickup would pickup rpms. They would be on the inside, engine side, of pulley. Pickup is bolted to combine frame.
