Hey Fred,

What do you think of those SunDec tach/hour meters.  I wanted to add one to my Sears 17hp tractor, and maybe add the tach feature to the snowblower.  I've actually have been curious as to how many hours I put on the tractor each year.  I was made to understand that these Briggs engines are only rated for 500 hours, so I was curious to get an average use time each year.  I was looking at the following auction on Ebay, 4350497075.  Thank you.

    Richie,

   I know nothing on Sundec hour meters.

Also where did you get the life of only 500 hours on the engine?

If you are looking at the engine decal, where it shows A, B, or C.

Where c = 250, B = 500, and A =1000.

Those ratings are only saying that the engine will meet EPA standards for that many hours.

My lawn tractor with a twin briggs, 18 Hp has over 900 hours and still going strong!!

  All,

    Which of you bought the above listed hour meters, beside me ?

I have those Sundec hour meters on my Ariens snowblower and Sears riding mower. That's a good price from eBay. I think I paid $25 each at Sears for mine. On my 11 HP Troy Bilt tiller I have an Airguide meter that I got from Northern Tool. It has numbers on a drum like a car odometer and is a two wire meter that I wired into the ignition. It starts running when the ignition key is on so you have to make sure that the ignition is off when the engine isn't running.

Hi Fred,

Ritchie,

I have just the hour meter version. When I bought them the best price I could find at the time was $25. I think the meter I have on the tiller gets its juice from the tiller battery. Probably doesn't have its own. I have to change the oil on the tiller every 10 hours so the hour meter is very useful. I use the tiller all summer as we succession crop in our market garden.
