halbert 0 #1 Posted February 27, 2011 Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to the best source of a rebuild manual for a BF series Onan. I've searched the net pretty extensively in my quest. I'd like to find something intended a bit more closely for the Wheel Horse tractor line(D160 Automatic). There seem to be plenty of manuals for Generator Set engines, which are probably simiar, but I'd feel more comfortable with a manual intended for the purpose. I've found some manuals that are pretty close and will probbly go with one of those unless I get better advice here. Thanks for your help. I'm climbing the up-side of a learning curve here in my old age. Henry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH854 44 #2 Posted February 27, 2011 Howdy Henry, You can go here and put Model# (71-16OS01) You will get a lot of information on your tractor https://homeownersolutions.toro.com/portal/...ductDetailsPage Maybe this will help Chas BTW :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #3 Posted February 28, 2011 I'm not sure how close the BF series is to the B series, but there is a JD Onan engine manual here: http://www.mytractorforum.com/images/refer...16_18_20_24.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woodchuckfarmer 333 #5 Posted March 2, 2011 Go to Wheelhorse Links , and at the bottom of the page you will find manuals. Use the Onan preformance manual its a good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halbert 0 #6 Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks for the tip Woodchuckfarmer, but that performance manual is for the newer P200 series engine design. Still it may be useful in some respects. I may just download it. I am looking specifically for rebuild or service manuals tht cover the older BF engine model design. It really is difficult to find information specific to the BF design. I know for sure that Onan made a BF because I have one itting in my 1977 D160Auto. lol Thanks for the help, Henry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #7 Posted March 3, 2011 Service & Parts manual: http://www.cumminsonan.com/www/pdf/manuals/965-0250.pdf Don't forget to check your local public library system and/or bookstores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halbert 0 #8 Posted March 4, 2011 TT, Maybe it's me, but I couldn't get that Cummins link to open. Not to fret, however. I found a downloadable manual at Onan Parts. http://onanparts.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1 I was querrying them about a breather tube and thought to ask about the manual. Like the old saying goes, "It pays to ask." Best of all is the FREE part. https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=c5330....1&disp=safe&zw Thanks to everybody for their help anyway.
