My 416-8 Demanded respect!

Recommended Posts

I got my 416-8 back from the shop this morning. I had planned to clean the carb myself, but the Onan sort of spooked me, so I took it in. Good thing I did, they really fixed it up. Cleaned the carb, changed the oil and filter, cleaned the fuse terminals, removed a "bubba'd" wire arrangement, replaced the fuel line, shutoff valve and tank grommet, and cleaned out the tank, all for about $280. Money well spend. As I got it off the trailer and started to drive it up the hill, I put it in 3rd instead of second and almost flipped it over backwards. I am not exaggerating when I say it I rode a wheelie for ten yards, white knuckled all the way!

 

So, okay. The 416-8 has my respect. It runs so well, and sounds so cool, I can't wait to start using it for things around the yard. First thing is going to be pulling my sailboat off the trailer to careen it this weekend.

Not bad. Sounds about right with the parts and labor. Have fun and enjoy!!

I'll try, but  I don't have a setup to hold my ipad for filming while driving the tractor.
