jpmcleod 4 #1 Posted March 14, 2011 Did a 416-8 come with a B&S engine. Every one in the photo section has a Kohler or Onan. I have a chance to purchase one but concerned about the engine. The owner says it's original. A quick response from someone who knows would be greatly appreciated as he is coming to my house today. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddworkm 0 #2 Posted March 14, 2011 Kohler or Onan are the two stock engines Kohler from 85-88 Onan from 89-97 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
145Automatic 7 #3 Posted March 14, 2011 I've never heard for a BS on a 416. I checked the model list and did not find any BS engined 416's. I'd have my douts that it's the original engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,021 #4 Posted March 14, 2011 It was either a Kohler or an Onan. 1985 to 1988 they used Kohlers. From 1989 till 1997 they had Onans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irv 115 #5 Posted March 14, 2011 My '85 416-8 has a Kohler. The Work horses (gray and black) had b&s motors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpmcleod 4 #6 Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks everyone for the replys. I was very skeptical regarding the engine. The guy came and you could tell the engine had been changed. The tractor did not look nothing like in the photo's. I took a rain check on it so someone else may get it down here. It is a typical Florida tractor with rotten tires and plenty of rust. Again, thanks. I knew I could get the correct information from you guys. Have a nice day. My grandson promised to post photo's tonite of my herd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
