A very common problem, indicates wear inside the head.  As the brass bushing
wears, the magnets sag closer to the cup & so have more effect on it.

See Tony Rhodes' article at

for the best info I know of (which still isn't much).

Nope, all the TRactor motors turned the tach shaft at camshaft speed (1/2
crank speed).
