F2690E

So I found a F2690E with a 60" flip up deck on an auction and pulled the trigger. I got it home Wednesday, it's new to me but was listed as a 2015 model with 1800 hours. I bought it based on photos, got it home put a jump box on it and she fired right up and works as it should even got 3/4 tank of fuel.
I have been cleaning up and checking everything. I have ordered filters and fluids as I don't know when it was serviced last. The tachometer is not working. I thought I found the problem with a black ground wire broken on the connector for the speed sensor. Checked around for a replacement pigtail and got a shock. They wanted $88 for a replacement connector. I went another route and de-pinned the connector and soldered the wire back together. Problem is the Tach still doesn't work.

I forgot to mention that it came with a grass catcher but the vacuum blower is missing. Kubota is mighty proud of their parts.

Congrats on the new to you mower!
That's a quality machine well worth repairing, having many hours of life left.
IMHO, the grass catcher adds limited resale value, so if it doesn't meet your needs, you could always just scrap it.

Still trying to figure out why the tach is not working. Any ideas?
