Sparky-(Admin) 19,587 #3 Posted September 13, 2011 I think my 418-A had a chrome muffler. Maybe its a 420-LSE !! Mike....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorseFixer 2,012 #4 Posted September 13, 2011 Well I will tell you this, My 417A had a chrome muffler on it when I got it, but most of the Chrome was burnt off. Awhile back someone posted a picture of a 417A and the exhaust looked like new! I ended up painting my exhaust. Someday I might run accross a good Muff. As far as the other Tractors? dunno. In my Avatar you can see this tractor and it also had a Chrome Air Cleaner Housing. ~Duke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkopp 1 #5 Posted September 13, 2011 My father-in-law works for his nephew who owns a repair shop and he had one come in the other day. He didn't know the model but said it had a twin that one cylinder was not firing, that it was a bigger model, and it was a hydro and had some chrome on the muffler. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusjeepn 59 #6 Posted September 13, 2011 One cylinder wasn't firing or had no compression? If it was/is a compression problem, I'm 90% sure it would be a 520H and the rear cylinder has a valve seat problem. We really need more information or a picture.

dkopp 1 #7 Posted September 13, 2011 I don't have any additional info on this tractor as of yet. Just that a man brought it in to the shop where my father-in-law works and they did some troubleshooting on it and he left it for junk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkopp 1 #18 Posted September 15, 2011 You guys are something else. I did find out last night that the tractor is a 418-A, and although it has the non-working motor, it's free for the asking. I'll be heading up there this coming weekend and will try to get some pictures. My father-in-law said it had a nice deck and the paint was still good. I'm assuming that this model had the Kohler twin on it and not an Onan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice grab, Dan! Duff :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkopp 1 #21 Posted September 15, 2011 Duff, I happened to be talking with the guy that owns the repair shop and he had two horses under tarps waiting to be worked on and this was several months ago. One was a Raider 12 I believe that was partly restored and needing a total rebuild of the deck and if I'm not mistaken this 418-A was the other one, and if it is, I looked good from what I seen. I've got a C-111 that was needing an engine and some serious TLC all around and just didn't have the time or the funds for that involved of a project. If I get this one (the 418-A) I'll be needing some engine advice and parts not doubt. The only thing is that I promised to get rid of the C-111 when I get the 418. A horse is better than no horse at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mavfreak 11 #22 Posted September 16, 2011 Try waxing your muff, there might be a shinny looking muff under the old one. One thing to think of is that no matter how good the outside of a muff looks if the insides don't work right they tend to stink. And I don't know of to many that like a stinky muff. Just something to think of when checking out a new muff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
