Unfortunately hunting up one of these new has been unsuccessful, & the guts of mine are shot. Anyone have or know of any that might be floating around? Part # 36200-75640

Thanks for the help, but I am really looking for an OEM unit. I rarely need to know the actual RPM for my regular usage, but the PTO speed also displayed on it would be really nice to have back.

that makes since. If all else fails you can try this

also phone Apps like below might help you too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tp77.StrobeAd&hl=en

Might use an app like above in conjunction with idea on video to verify what volts is equivalent to what Rpm?

If this idea works then you just got to figure out how to mount a tiny motor and belt to your PTO shaft. Maybe a vacuum cleaner belt (or one whose width is trimmed) will fit in space between pto shaft joint and back end of tractor. then mount appropriate volt meter in view on tractor?

Kinda hokey...... but if all else fails..... hokey works.

I had not, Thank you. Sent them a message, fingers crossed.
If recall right various threads seem to report it is far best to call them. Maybe more than once to get different person and different price quote :D
