1988 Wheel Horse 416-8 Garden Tractor Onan Twin -only 649 hours Price drop1 Selling a one owner garage kept Mower and serviced by Mainline Mowers over the years and I have decided to use a lawn service. It is an original, heavy-duty 1988 Wheel Horse 416-8 garden tractor with the 16 HP Twin-Cylinder Onan Performer engine and the coveted 8-speed manual Uni-Drive transmission. Original Hobbs meter shows only 649 total hours. Extremely low use for a 1988 commercial grade tractor. Currently a non-runner. It was professionally serviced and ran great last season, but we contracted out our lawn care to a service and let the tractor sit. Tried starting it and it turns over won't fire up. The battery is weak from sitting, and it likely needs the old fuel drained and the carburetor cleaned. It turns over but needs a little TLC to get back to 100%. Complete with mid-mount cutting deck. The sheet metal is straight, and the original red paint and hood decals are well-preserved for a 1988 model. Tires hold air great. Garage kept. Typical wear for its age—the vinyl seat is split and the steering wheel has tape, but the bones of this machine are solid iron. Perfect weekend project for a collector or Wheel Horse enthusiast who knows how to clean a carb and jump a battery. Terms: $475 or best offer. Cash only, local pickup. You will need a trailer/truck to load.

Landscaping changes made this working tractor an inefficient way to cut our lawn. Original owner had removed most WH side badging and added Ferarri stickers. Fired it up yesterday and it drove and mowed. Includes the snow thrower attachment, not pictured, which I have not attempted to install, so belt need replacement and possible missing parts may be issues if you want to chuck snow with it. Please pick up here in Aurora, IL or arrange your own transport. Might deliver locally if it makes sense. Reasonable offers entertained. Thanks to the forum members who helped me get this beastie running again!
