Hours add up if you forget key on.

The combo tach/hour meter on the Kubota is definitely old school--cable driven off the injection pump, just like an old-time speedometer/odometer.

I am familiar with that set up, Very cool.

Dealer left the key on my Fastrak when I brought it in for service, added 30 hours and had a dead battery when I picked it up. Thankfully the buyer didn't give me a hard time when buying the mower recently - I explained the 30 hour difference and he was cool with it.

That could have been a bad thing.. Good your buyer was understanding.

I've owned 2 tractors.
A 1978 John Deere 850 and my current tractor a 2001 Kioti DK 35.
Both have had the cable driven tach/hour meter.
