Yours broke at 293, mine broke at 283. Good instructions, thanks for your effort and time.

[@leonardboufford282]

Just changed my cable out on my L2501 at 128hrs. Thanks for the video.

[@jodienash3938]

This video was amazing! Thank for the information and showing how easy it is to fix! AWESOME

[@fredmoreno7997]

EXACTLY what I needed. I've only got 140 hrs ssme model. This is going tk save me $$ and my time.

[@samj1185]

so much easier than on my late 80's L2250. On mine you won't access the rear of the cluster assembly w/o pulling the steering wheel and far more body parts than you tackled. Nice vid.

[@Milo30066]

That is what I was looking for. Thanks Great and Powerful Master ❤️!!!

[@bulletsandbacon4440]

I know this is an old vid but my l2501 tach quit working around the same hour mark as yours did. This vid helped a ton thank you!

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Great to hear! Appreciate the support!

[@Javelinjoe73]

Good video, don’t work under hydraulic raised implements without blocking them up.

[@Cinch4261]

Well done video, thanks for making it quick and sweet!!

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Thanks so much for supporting the channel!

[@marksvideotreasuresmvt414]

Thanks for the info! That is a great help to see how to get into the dash area.

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Glad we could help, thanks for supporting the channel Mark!

[@waterlooreader]

Nice job…thank you… my issue is a signal light bulb but your video was a perfect solution for me. Other videos get into pulling the steering wheel which won’t be necessary.

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Awesome! Glad it helped 🙌 man that sounds like a lot of work

[@markb2860]

Great vid, saved me some time. Thanks. Fyi to those that care paid 47 in canada

[@richardgarrett4647]

Thanks for the video. My L3200 Tach just quit. Your instructions are good and to the point. Now I am off to the Kubota dealer to buy the part. Thanks

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Bam! Glad we could help Richard!

[@Kevin.L_]

My L3200 tach quit today and I found this video. Glad to hear it worked for you.

[@user-oj1hx2cd2i]

Great job, best video yet, others want you to take the arms and bucket off, I replaced mine in 15 minutes. Thanks

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Thanks Edward! Crushed it 💪

[@rastagrastag7784]

Awesome👍👍👍👍

[@noellwilson1273]

Just in case, it’s was basically the same on my 1981 L345 but they didn’t have all those protective guards 40 years ago. Measure your old cable - the part number gave cables that were from 25” to 55” long. Mine was about 48” long. Exactly the same at the engine. I removed 4 Philips head screws to loosen the instrument panel. I had to pull the steering wheel to raise the panel enough to get to the back of the tach. No big problem.

[@carlhunt9267]

Great video

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Thanks!

[@rastagrastag7784]

Good information

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Thanks Rasta!

[@bjl1226]

Thanks brother

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

You're welcome!

[@cozyacres]

Mine just stopped working at 356 sounds to me like kabota has a faulty product that should be free of charge to you for the part regardless of warranty

[@jaytreat1261]

Thank you. Oddly I have a 2015 L2501 with just shy of 300 hours and the tach quit working yesterday. Is this a known flaw or a coincident?

[@jaytreat1261]

My repair went exactly as you describe. Thank you again.

[@theatomis]

This was great. Thanks for doing this. Have you replaced your fuel and temp cables? I think a squirrel chewed through mine. :)

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Of course! No i haven't, that does not sound fun.😌

[@rastagrastag7784]

I believe that's my problem

[@dennishouk4630]

You mentioned the hour meter. Does that one cable work both tach and hour meter?

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Yup, two stones with one bird. 👌🏻

[@kohei4066]

My hour meter seems to over count. After warm up of about 20-30 min, the clock has changed by 3 hours. Is that common ?

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Man that’s not good, you should contact a dealer for sure

[@dirtbeard108]

mine broke at exactly 400.0hrs. I think my tractor wanted to make sure it gets is servicing.

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Haha oh no! Better het to it! 💪💪

[@grasscutter88]

The hour meter isn't accurate anyways. It's mechanical so if you just let it run at idle it goes much slower. So like .1 of an hour is like 18 minutes before it clicks over.

[@BreakFreeHomestead]

Hmm did you myth bust this?

[@grasscutter88]

@@BreakFreeHomestead I let it idle and waited like 12 minutes and got tired of waiting after that. I think it finally clicked over a few minutes later.
