cleat 7,233 #1 Posted March 11, 2016 All of my larger Onan powered Horses out wandering in the driveway. My Wife Krista came out because she thought the house was vibrating apart with the rumble of 4 Onans idling away. She took some video too, I will post that soon. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #2 Posted March 11, 2016 Great looking lineup. I always thought myself a "Kohler Guy". Now having second thoughts since I got my '90 520-8 Onan a few years ago. The Onan purrs, starts every time, is my go to Stallion. Your Horses are quite well groomed! Do you spend lots of time in the shop pampering those wonderful Horses? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 7,233 #3 Posted March 11, 2016 Here are a couple of more pics and a couple of video's. The ticking noise is the 520-HC. It has a very worn engine but it still runs good. I bought the 416 to have a spare engine just in case. video-2016-03-11-12-38-20.mp4 video-2016-03-11-12-39-25.mp4 15 minutes ago, Tankman said: Great looking lineup.

My wife says I spend way too much time grooming them. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,362 #11 Posted March 11, 2016 You probably woke her from a nap and that is why she ran from house. She thought she was having a bad dream. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 41,765 #12 Posted March 11, 2016 The heat from 4 220 ONANS should melt that snow. No need to use the plows and blowers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, all 4 added together would be 76HP. Kind of a weak V8. Maybe HP ratings are different with cars VS lawn equipment. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 7,233 #18 Posted March 21, 2016 Yep, the horses are all pointed out ready to go. The big girl is backwards so if it snows a lot I can blow myself out (blower is on the back of that one). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 41,765 #19 Posted March 21, 2016 I bet they cause a ruckus trying to get out when they feel snow in the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 7,233 #20 Posted March 21, 2016 The biggest ruckus is going to be the wife wondering why she needs to clear snow and ice off of her car while my tractors take up both bays of the garage. Oh well, I'd hate to spoil her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 41,765 #21 Posted March 21, 2016 Man, you are one tough dude Cleat. I can build as many garages, pole barns and sheds as I want, but If I ever infringed on Mrs. Ks parking spot in her heated garage attached to the kitchen., I am sure that would be grounds for the big D. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,579 #22 Posted March 22, 2016 my dart parks in the garage so the wife has never been able to park there, therefore she doesn't expect it, i just have to clean her van off before i go to work. and she hates driving on snow or bad roads so she doesn't venture out on them roads. eric j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
