I'm not sure I understand the tach cable problem. Were there two cables broken? Maybe the dealer figures something is wrong with the tach head and the whole unit needs to be replaced.
Normally cables can be replaced separately from the head, and they aren't expensive. They also are pretty reliable. Cables like white grease and they don't like sharp bends. You might see if rerouting could straighten out some bends.
If the tach isn't working now and this is the second time it broke, I think I'd make a case to the dealer that the problem occurred under warranty and just wasn't diagnosed--so replacement of the head should still receive warranty coverage.
Generally a front blower could be rigged up for most anything. People whose tractors don't have mid-pto's usually find that the idea isn't very desirable.
