The problem is internal to the speedometer and has to be removed. You are sure the reset **** below the dash is fully down?

The odometer "reset" ****/cable may be stuck in the 'down' position so that the internal gears cannot mesh. Push the reset **** 'up' and see if it moves further. If not, then the internal gear set has a failure of some kind and the head will have to be repaired or replaced.
