T time 2 #1 Posted May 31, 2015 i found this 516-H . it has a ONAN 16 horse, the id # is 3116 OE 01 11188... so is it a 1988 model ??? the unit was seating for around 10 years. i did get the unit running, but the mower deck was too rusty to use. any help would be great !! txs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,592 #2 Posted May 31, 2015 Yep, your correct about the year. 31-16OE01 1988 516-H Garden Tractor Automatic Onan P216G-I/10538AValue is tough, is there an hour meter? It also has the less desirable hydro (Eaton 700). So basically its a tractor with no attachments since the deck was shot....I'm going to say its a $300-$350 machine as it sits.Mike..........

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #5 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) A couple of problems I spotted right away: The fuel pump should be covering the holes on the shroud. The holes are letting cooling air from reaching the cylinder. The fuel pump is dangling in the hole that is covered with the NN10452 plug on a 516-H letting more air escape. The #2 cylinder could have the typical Onan problems because of that. The hole is normally where the oil filter goes on a 520-H. More like $200-250 without a deck in that condition. If it only was used with a mower deck, the transmission shouldn't be an issue compared to the engine. Edited May 31, 2015 by shallowwatersailor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
