SPEEDOMETER CABLE FOR DAVID BROWN 1600 MM - 1 x 5/8" - 1 x 7/8" - K954959

The odometer cable for the David Brown K954959 is designed for tractors in the 1200, 1400, 90, and 94 series listed in the compatibility chart. This instrument panel component connects the speedometer drive to the dashboard to transmit information to the speedometer. To select the correct part, the key specifications are its length of 1600 mm and its threaded connections: 1 x 5/8" and 1 x 7/8".

The Role of a Speedometer Cable on a Tractor

A speedometer cable provides the mechanical link between the drive mechanism on the tractor and the display unit in the cab. In this type of setup, the condition of the cable directly affects the transmission of motion to the speedometer. When the cable is worn, kinked, damaged, or cut, the speedometer may stop functioning properly.

Replacement of this part should therefore be considered when a cable shows visible wear on the sheath, damaged ends, or irregular operation. On an older or restored tractor, correctly identifying the threaded ends is especially important to avoid installation errors when ordering.

Dimensions and reference points for identifying this part

This version has a total length of 1,600 mm. This is a critical specification, as a cable that is too short can put stress on the fittings, while a cable that is too long can complicate routing between connection points. Verifying the length is therefore a priority before placing any order.

The specified fittings are 1 x 5/8" and 1 x 7/8". This combination of threads allows you to precisely compare your existing cable with the part you are looking for. The part number is also linked to the numbers K951990, K954959, and K954960, which are useful for cross-referencing an old part number found on the tractor or in your parts history.

Application on David Brown Tractors

This speedometer cable is designed for several David Brown tractors. The detailed list of compatible models appears immediately following this description, grouped by series for easy reference. This allows you to find applications for the 1200, 1400, 90, and 94 series without having to expand your search to other unlisted models.

If your tractor belongs to one of these series, please take the time to compare the length and the two threads of your current setup. The same model may have had several configurations depending on the version or changes to the assembly over the machine’s lifetime.

Important Checks Before Replacement

Before replacing a speedometer cable, first check the usable length between the two connection points and the shape of the threaded ends. It’s also important to check the overall condition of the cable route to avoid excessive kinks during reinstallation. For installation instructions specific to your tractor, refer to the manufacturer’s procedure.
