I'd be a little leery of this tractor if it's in the shape you describe. Sounds to me like they keep running their machinery after something breaks. Unless you want this tractor real bad, you might be better off walking away. I do have a few pointers for you concerning the tach. My 1086 has 16500 hours and I bought it new so I've had to figure out a few dash problems through the years.
The tach problem might not be all that bad. Do you know if the tach lights up at all? If it doesn't light up it might be the oil pressure activated switch on the right rear side of the engine just in front of the cab if it's an earlier one. The later 1086's had the tach come on when the key switch was turned on instead of the oil switch doing the job but I don't know how the newer ones are wired. If it lights up but reads zeroes, there's a speed sensor in the bell housing I think in front of the cab on the right side. That sensor might be bad or disconnected or out of adjustment. Or there might be a rat chewed wire somewhere too.
My 1086 is an early 1978 with the oil pressure activated tach switch. I finally got tired of the switch going bad and connected the two wires together and then went under the dash and moved the power feed from constant power to switched power. If I remember right it's all done in front of your feet.
You might want to get a quote on the TA before you start dickering price. There are still some pretty good 1086's lurking out there. Of course you never know when the TA will give up the ghost. Jim
