posifour11 723 #26 Posted December 1, 2012 sounds like that may be the "elusive" 52 c.i.big block that the onan guys like.you might be able to make some money from the engine if you try to sell it. I guess it could be. It does have 52 in the model number. No idea what i'd use it for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackC 616 #28 Posted December 1, 2012 Those old ONANs will run fine even with a lot of wear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baerpath 517 #29 Posted December 1, 2012 The 19.9 Onan is an animal for pulling thats why so many clubs outlawed them. I don't like Onans but I'd run that one :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groundhog47 347 #30 Posted December 1, 2012 Really like the Title words "draft horse", if you don't object I'll use it where applicable. Don't like snipin' terms without creditin' those that said em. Several I've seen here but orb a lot have that the term renders respect to the machine. Hope you get your's lined out as you want, Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posifour11 723 #31 Posted December 1, 2012 Wheel-N-it, i may just have to do that. Jack, sadly this one won't run without a teardown. Baerpath, i might run it too if i was a puller. Groundhog, go right ahead. I just thought it would fit this poor old thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #32 Posted December 2, 2012 Yeah, unfortunately like our friend JayInNc says; " You can't save 'em all " And he should know. Lord knows he has tried :banana-wrench: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
