the later cubs had a tach mounted the the steering colum. does any one know where i can get one? its not for a cub, its for a tractor that was updated with an IH distrbutor, but i'd like to see at a glance where my RPMs are, and i'm not sure an aftermarket electric tach would look right. thanks jk

don't dismiss all electric aftermarket tachs. anything you find at the quick sale retail places should be dismissed. however, by spending a few more dollars and some time finding a tach you like and a mounting pod or panel that suits your fancy, you might be more pleased with the outcome than an original mechanical one.
Stewart-Warner makes a large variety of instruments, including tachs with much lower redlines than the "ricer" 9000rpm you're likely to find all over. they also still offer some mechanical or mechanical/electric combo instruments. another make of instruments would be VDO. and even the popular "rice" AutoMeter makes some heavy-duty products suitable for low rpm applications. you may find yourself mixing makes on the tach and mounting system, but in the end you will know you got exactly what you want.
some companies get into custom instruments, but for a one time shot, it would be cost prohibitive.
a place in MN that deals exclusively with instruments is D&D instruments, they have been pretty helpful when i've dealt with them for work, and sell directly to the public as well as wholesalers.

I sold a mint Cub tach (70 hours) on eBay last spring. I recently found the special bracket for it. Didn't even know I had it. It is available

Cub tachs are pricey. I got $400 for mine. I saw a NOS Cub tach and bracket go for over $700 last year.

I have a little more time now so I will address your question more thoughtfully.

There are at least three different IH tach configurations made by Stewart-Warner. But there may be 10-20 different part numbers. The large large number of part #s is due to the location of the PTO line printed on the face and the number of speeds in the transmission.

Some tachs use a 0-2400 rpm dial

Some tachs use a 0-3000 rpm dial

Some tachs (gas start diesel and 9 series gas engines) run backwards.

The Cub uses the 0-2400 calibration. It has three speed bands on the upper half of the dial. You should be able to use any IH tach that is calibrated for 0-2400 and has the 0 point on the right side. Let me know of you need a picture.

a picture would be very helpful, but if they really run around $400-$700 i think i'll go with an after market electric tach. thanks for the input

I don't think you understand. You don't need a Cub tach. Any distibuter driven four cylinder IH tach made by S-W and has a 0 point on the right with a max of 2400 RPM will work. They are readily available on eBay for * or - $50.
