I put one on my LT40 a few years ago!

When the engine is running, it's a tach and when you shut the engine off it's an hour meter!

Just ground one wire and wrap the other wire around one of the spark plug wires a few times!

JMoore and I added one to our LT-28 a few weeks after we bought the mill.  We just wired it to the key switchcircuit.  If the switch were to be left on with the engine off, you would add a lot of hours to the meter.  This has not happened to the mill.  Today, I came across a Briggs hour meter/tach combination that seemed easy enough to hook up.  If I could program hours on it I would consider switching it out with our existing meter just to be able to know RPM.

I bought one on ebay that just has one wire that you wrap around a spark plug wire 4 turns. It was $12. and has hours and rpm.
They work off of the eddy currents present on the outside of the S P wire and only work when the engine is running.
