I know this is an old post but the response may help others that are going through old post looking at responses as indeed I am. The tacho sender on our Foton 404 gave out and the plastic covered tip had split and a small wire was protruding, replaced it with a new one from Tommy’s Affordable even though i’m in Australia.
The hour meter appeared to be stuck not turning over so I just bought a small electrical one on line on e-bay dirt cheap from China and attached it. The original now seems to also be going again although I think that there may be a broken tooth that allows it to stall periodically, not good when it is one of the smaller digit wheels.
The electronic version counts in points of the hour too so every 6 minutes registers .1. I also placed one on the ride on lawnmower as it had none, and its surprising how much work is done on that machine!
