scoob8000 29 #1 Posted May 25, 2016 Picked up a parts tractor for my 416-H. You should have seen the wife's face when she pulled in as I was unloading it. It's a late 80's 416-8 with a 48" SD deck (mine is a 42"). The deck needs a little welding near the discharge side spindle, ignition switch, and somebody tinkered with the transmission so it pops out of gear and won't go into high range. Front tires are totally shot and won't hold air for more than 5 minutes. But at least the Onan runs and fires right up! Not a bad score for well under $200. Bought for parts, but might fix it up and actually use it. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 10,256 #3 Posted May 25, 2016 Definitely fix her up. You can see what looks like gasket sealer oozing out of the transmission seal. Hopefully they didn't screw it up too bad. I see another transmission thread coming 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoob8000 29 #11 Posted May 26, 2016 I know one thing I meant to ask. Do the engines setup for hydro idle up faster? I noticed this one doesn't sound like it runs as fast at full throttle. I just ordered a cheapo non-contact tachometer to check and compare.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pollack Pete 2,273 #12 Posted May 27, 2016 Way to good to use as a parts machine.I would have bought it just because it would look good sitting in my shop.Have fun with your new toy.Lots of guys here don't like the Onan's.I happen to like them.......
