The tach to borrow/rent is a strobe tach. It has a flashing Xenon lamp that acts like a timing light. It does not connect to the tractor at all. To use it, it is just directed toward the front pulley and a knob is rotated until the pulley appears stopped. Simple as watching TV with a remote. There will be a readout on the unit that is RPM. The rated speed is 540 under full rated load, not high idle. High Idle will be more (10% is a guess) But My 5% was goverened speed beyond rated High Idle (from tweeking the governor). Unless it has been tweeked, or is assembled incorrectly it is fine. By the way--- variable (up to 50% of engine power by the seat of your pants) losads at various RPMs above Idle for the first hour and a half, Then moderate to full to modest loads varying over time (dont measure the time, just do different things and don't let it idle fro long periods) for another 2 hrs, will get it ready to use. I would not do heavy tillage for 10 hours, but after that just use it. Change the oil at 15 hrs to a synthetic 10-40(best) or 10-40 car rated oil, or 15-40 diesel rated oil. Opinions will vary, but this is solid info from 45 years of watching oil improve. JimN
