Lost Pup 172 #1 Posted November 28, 2014 Found this on Craigslist.....about an hour away. PO listed it for $450 ....picked it up for $380. Test drove it .....seems fine. PO got it for free and it was parked for a very long time by the original owner. (rusty and dirty) The brackets for the bagger are still attached. Needs a good cleanup from all the debris in the engine bay and transmission area. I could use a clean and clear picture of the motion linkage from a 416H if possible. PO took things apart and well it was clear he lost quite a few nuts and bolts. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

km3h 543 #9 Posted November 29, 2014 That looks like the makings of a thoroughbred horse. If it were me, I would pull the engine and remove all the tins for cleaning. Pull the intake and exhaust manifolds, to do a valve adjustment. Most likely behind those tins is a lot of oil, mixed with dirt and debris. Onan recommends this be done every 500 hours. Cooling is critical to these engines especially the rear cylinder. You do not have to completely remove the engine although if you can that is the best. You can simply slide it forward a bit and then turn in on the frame. You will have to unhook the 9 pin connector from the engine to the tractor wiring and the fuel line and carb hookups. Easy and won't take long. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick 215 #10 Posted November 29, 2014 You will enjoy your machine when you get it done! I love my 416-H,48" deck combo.Mine is an older model, with the motion control in front of of the seat, so my pics wont help you. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #11 Posted November 29, 2014 Thats a nice one for sure! Follow Nick's advice regarding the engine cleaning. You don't want to take a chance of overheating that rear cylinder. I found pink insulatrion packed between the tins and engine before. Talk about holding in the heat!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
