This is how it was on my old 1530Is it off the engine? I thought they only had tachometers off the main drum... but its been a few years since I was driving one.
Those Dorset engines have a tacho cable connection point on the side of the block,but it would require a long cable for a combine. Marine versions have an adaptor that fits onto the block with two wires on it for an electrical tacho.
You could try some of the marine specialists eg.Lancing Marine,but you may need a compatable tacho as well.It'll not be cheap.... Or fit an alternator with a W terminal(unkess yours already has it) and link the tacho to it.

If there is a threaded hole in the bellhousing opposite.the starter ring you can fit a speed sensor and a.digital sensor quite easy only one wire to cab

The thing is how I will replace it cause all missing even the cablesBuy a second hand one from manners combine breakers they are a good source of parts for these old machines.
Give them a call to see if they have one first. I don't expect they will want too much for all you need. Sounds like you will require the taco including the cable. The drive comes from the centre of the drum pully (the big one with the flat Belt) so just check you have a small 90 degree gear drive coming out of there as well in working order.The thing is how I will replace it cause all missing even the cables

Main threshing drum pully, top of the elevator trunking right hand side as you look from the front. you may need to lift the panel up to see properly. This is a 1530 though.Where is this part of ur picture?
That is the recorder thingy that gives you the drum speed.No. That's for setting the timing
