Back in about 1968 I put a distributor drive gear housing from a 300/350 on My Super H with the tach drive gear outlet and installed a tach off a 350 so I have an accurate tach, hour meter, and even has the MPH on the different colored bands. Same part from a 400/450 should fit Your M.

I have considered the same thing on my smta. Problem with a regular tach is the scale, usually they go to 8 or 10 thousand whereas your farmall tops out at under 2. Puts the needle on such a small scale it is hard to tell where it is. JC Whitney has a tach listed that tops at 4000. Is electric and they say will work on 4, 6 ot 8 cyl.

That's why I used an auto test meter. They normally have a low/high range. I took the meter apart, set it to the low range and used white-out to cover the high range numbers. You could also use a tach with a digital readout. J.C. Whitney, as well as others, has them available. That way there would be no range to worry about. Have fun.

I've installed a tach and a voltmeter on my M. Any tach that will hook up to the points connection will work. I used a couple of meters from old auto test equipment. I then build an enclosure for the meters and mounted it above the temp and oil gauges. It looks strange but serves it's purpose. Have fun.
