416 hydro pto problem

[WHEEL HORSE BILL 7]

Hey,

guys I have an issue with my pto on the 416 hydro.When I bought this tractor the pto clutch was not on.I

bought it probably about a month ago un running and I have had nothing but bad luck with it. I took it to a shop to get it running and he did get it running but it runs like crap don't know why but it does. I was going to put the pto clutch back on today and saw that the shaft is to short to even put it back on why!!!!!!! does anyone have a diagram of how to put it on.I took apart another wheel horse pto just to see and the shaft is longer. can anyone help am I missing somthing. One guy just emailed me and wants to trade for a 310-8 for mine but Im not going to give up yet. I :wub:love the 416 tractor with a vac bagger and i know you guys want pictures but my camara broke on christmas eve. very sorry about that :bow-blue:

Do you have the inner bearing race (#40) installed over the crankshaft?

How much of the crankshaft end is sticking out beyond the tractor drive pulley?

Is the engine from/for a Wheel Horse?

TT,

I just went down into the garage and drive shaft is 1" 7/8 long.I got the belt and clutch disc with the 4 7/16 bolts on. Now just trying to figure out what is missing.Does that #40 make the shaft longer.

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

You're saying that there's 1 7/8" of crankshaft sticking out past the engine pulley? If there is, that's about right.

The inner bearing race (#40) normally sticks out past the end of the crankshaft.

I would not trade the 416H for a 310-8. IMO the 416H is more versatile. It is a hydro, with hydraulic lift, Great for plowing or just about anything, you can run a bigger deck with out problem (more power).

I gotta find someone who knows about these motors.When I can I will take pics for you guys. It has the chrome hub caps,vac dual bagger,very nice seat and a clean paint job just the motor sounds terrible.I'm sure it's just the carb that needs to be cleaned or adjusted some how .

I just measured the closest bearing race I could find...... It's about 2 3/8" long.

I just measured the crankshaft exposed beyond the drive pulley on my charger 12...2-3/8"

Is you drive pulley mounted correctly and are we sure this is the original motor???

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

Although it was never specified, there's no such thing as an original 416-H with anything other than an Onan.

I have a P-218 upstairs in the shop but haven't made it out to measure the OAL of the crankshaft. I'm relatively sure they're a bit shorter than a BB Kohler in a WH application.

Guess I need to go for a walk now. :eusa-whistle:

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

Walk's over........

The PTO end of the Onan crankshaft measures just shy of 2 3/4" long, BB Kohler is real close to 3 1/2".

[WHEEL HORSE BILL 7]

The engine is an onan 16 horse and all I got on it is the pulley with the belt and on the outside of the pulley is the clutch disc that takes a keyway with the 2 or 3 moon shaped pieces. Did I explain that ok.What do you guys think I'm missing.

TT do you think the shaft length is wrong or do you think the bearing race will make up the difference.

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

Crankshaft length is fine.

You need the inner bearing race for the PTO pulley, (#40) and two of the retaining "clips" (#42)

Parts 33 thru 39 make up the PTO pulley assembly. I assume you have the pulley and that it's not in pieces? :confusion-shrug:

[WHEEL HORSE BILL 7]

I have 33-39 and 42 but I don't have 40 which is the bearing race. do you know where I can get one I sent a message to kelly hoping he will have one. If you know anyone esle that may have one please let me know thanks for your time TT and others.
