Onan BF-MS 16HP any good for a Wheel Horse Repower

[Fordiesel69 219]

Got a junk Sears / Suburban tractor that a tenant left behind.  Before selling it whole, would this engine be any kind of an acceptable candidate to repower a Wheel Horse 300 / 400 / 500 series?

I would say it doesn't have a thrust washer on the crank for use with a mechanical PTO. Could be used with an electric clutch. 

Other then that could be a strong runner, and of a different thought is the parts, especially the ignition module. It alone is worth a few coins.

What engine?  Pictures?  Tough question to answer without knowing what engine it has.

It probably has a thrust bearing but no oil filter.  You need to check the distance from the mounting bolts to the PTO
