Description

If your Ford 8N’s speedometer needle has stopped dancing or started giving you wildly optimistic readings, chances are the proofmeter cable has given up the ghost. Nothing quite as frustrating as not knowing your ground speed when you’re trying to get seed placement just right or maintain consistent mowing speeds. This replacement cable gets your speed readings back on track so you can work with confidence.

What You’re Getting

32.5-inch steel cable assembly that matches original Ford specifications exactly
Durable metal case construction that stands up to vibration and weather
Proper cable core that won’t bind or break under normal operation
Direct replacement for Ford 8N tractors from 1950 through 1952

Built for Real Farm Work

This cable fits the later Ford 8N tractors that came equipped with the proofmeter dash setup. These are the workhorses you’ll find on small farms and hobby operations, still earning their keep after 70-plus years. Whether you’re bush-hogging pastures, cultivating garden plots, or running a finish mower, knowing your actual speed makes all the difference.

Made to Last

The metal case protects the internal cable from moisture and debris while the steel core resists the stretching and breaking that plagued some aftermarket cables. This TISCO replacement is built to the same standards as the original Ford part, so you can expect years of reliable service.

Installation Notes

The cable connects between your transmission and the back of the speedometer. Routing is straightforward, but take a few minutes to secure it properly so it doesn’t rub against the steering column or get pinched. A little white grease on the speedometer connection end helps ensure smooth operation.
