Put a Deposit down on a 416-8

[v65animal 0]

I found one only 7 hours away and only $25 more than I just sold my JD LT133 for last week.

This is a Onan Vtwin, with 564.7 hours and a 42" deck

I heard it run over the phone. He has already replaced the following:

Blades, Fuel Pump, Coil, Voltage Regulator, Tranny fluid, ignition switch, and drive belt.

I figure for this price, I can fix it up a little if needed and still be doing Ok, as most others I've been looking at are $600 to $1000 more. I would like to run it this summer, then clean it up and do any extra maintenance over the winter. My hard takes just under an hour a week, and I have Bermuda grass that dies off early in the fall, so I figure I'll put about 30 hours on it a year, which is pretty accurate for April to October. During the summer I don't have to cut it every week either.

I'm picking it up Friday morning.

Hopefully I made a good decision. I just saw the other post about a 416 vs a Cxxx and many people posted they wouldn't take the 416 with the Onan engine. Doh!

I want pictures too... The guy is in his 70's and his computer died last night. I went ahead and did it since the price was right and it was within driving distance.

I will post when I get back.
