I'm trying to trouble shoot my tach issue on my L285. The tach cable does not spin so I took it off and looked at the tach drive assemble and noticed that it looks like a spring that goes into the tach cable. Would the piece of metal that goes into the tach cable suppose to spin? I do not see a way for it to spin and just trying to figure it out.

Are you talking about the spade in the portion that bolts to the motor? With the cable disconnected, start the tractor. You should see the spade in the end move. If you dont see it move, then your issue is there.
To test the cable and tach, you can hook a cordless drill to the end of the cable and ease into the trigger
you should be able to see the tach climb.

Ok I just realized that the cable was broken off into the tach drive assembly that bolts to the motor. After getting it out I realized that when you spin the metal shaft that hooks into the slot in the motor, the other slot you can see on the other side that the cable locks into doesn't turn. I'm guessing the whole part is bad right ?

In case you have not searched yet.. if you do so you will find many threads on this same topic. Browse thru them and much of what your asking and even what you have not thought to ask about yet is all there for you.
Once you take a gander at them fire away more great questions.

Also look in the Ultimate READ ME for how to get into the parts schematics at Kubota. Just went there and looked. There are two part numbers for yours. Correct one is according to serial number of engine. The concept looks the same as many of the other setups on the Kubotas.
Hopefuly one of the folks in here who have dealt with this V model engine will pipe in too.
