Added a 416-8 this weekend

[parsonsponyz 200]

I was told of this tractor a couple of weeks ago called the guy and then life got in the way and didn't get back to him until this weekend.  After talking to the gentlemen found out he was the original owner, maintaining it very well and kept it in a heated garage all it's life until recently when it had a problem (probably because it caught feelings over him buying a new zero turn) and needed repairs.  He decided to sell and after making what I thought to be a ridiculously low offer brought it home to join the herd.  It has 1176 original hours and the tractor and deck are in excellent shape as seen in pictures.  The only problems are seat is torn and it needs a wiring harness (anyone have a harness hanging around?) and some minor tlc.

looks like a clean rig,  might have some hydraulic cylinder drips onto the deck.

the wiring harness for the late model Onans are bit complicated and no longer for sale by Toro.

There are some Electrical Masters here on RS who can help

_{I pulled the wiring harness out last night and it definetely would be easier to replace.  There was a fire and it toasted the wiring at the fuse block/relays, from there back is untouched.  The tractor is in unbelievable condition for the number of hours, with barely a scratch and no rust, amazing.  I just don't want to scrap this one out.}

Nice and clean. Looks like it will be worth the trouble to sort it out.
