    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

1978 Grand Banks 42 Classic
Forum

I would like to request a bid of help. I have a 1978 Grand Banks 42 Classic with 120 hp Ford Lehman engines.

My problem is that one of the tachometer sending units has failed and there does not appear to be any available. I know I should bite the bullet and replace all the tachometers and pick up the digital signal from my alternators.

But, I would like to keep original tachs if possible. Is there any chance you know where I can get a new or working used old school sending unit? I believe these sending units were used for years, so I was just hoping to find one laying in a spare parts bin or from an engine that has been parted out.

The markings on it are:

ID #? 667SK followed by 1.000 and underneath w11. I’ve also attached a couple of pictures of the unit.

Any assistance you could provide on this quest is greatly appreciated. If you find one, please contact me and I’ll arrange payment and shipping.

Thank you

Drew

Bob Smiths Company

Did you try calling Bob Smiths company in VA? He passed but last I heard company was still in business. Called American Diesel I think? They specialize in the Lehmans.
 
Call Brian at American Diesel.
 
Bob Smith passed away ?? :-( All of my 120s sent to the tachs from the alternator.

I replaced all four on my tachs on my two Lehman 120's. Used VDO's on the lower and IssPro's on the upper helm. I used the original alternator signals. After adjusting (very easy process on both), they are spot-on as compared to an optical reading at the engines. Those old Motorolas were never very good even when new.
 
If all else fails Google Lancing Marine.co.uk and contact Mike Bellamy. What he doesn't know about Ford 120's you could write on a pinhead.
Those engines are still made in Turkey so no problem with spares.
I hope this helps you.
