Tach-A-Matic Location On Chassis

[tarcoleo 119]

On my C-111, the TAM unit is located about 2 inches

toward the back of the machine compared with its

location on my C-81. Is this kosher or has one or the

other been tampered with? Where should the TAM be

along the chassis, measured from where?

I don't know but my C-120 is located 12" from the front to the center of the attachment slot. I know it came that way, I bought it new. Hope this helps.

Tom,

If it isn't too much trouble throw up a pic for everyone else to see. That would give you some quick feedback. Looking forward to help!

The distance from the center of the TAM slot to the front end of the chassis

is 13-1/4" in the C-111 and 11-1/4" in the C-81. The front end of the

chassis is where the cross-piece is attached directly to the chassis rails and

includes the 1/4" thickness of that cross-piece. The measurement is

not measured diagonally but along a level line between vertical lines

aligned with the slot and the end of the chassis. I'll be interested to know

what other C-series measurements are. Thanks in advance,

Did someone bolt it on backwards? that would be about 2"

Kelly-

They're both looking in the same direction. (Murphy wasn't here.)

Further investigation has solved the mystery. On the C-111 in its

previous life, the TAM on the chassis was moved rearward. Close

inspection shows the imprint of the device having been mounted

2 in. forward of its present location. Sorry fellahs, you don't need

to go out into the cold barn to make measurements for me.
