Picked up this 416-8

[Lagersolut 743]

Was originally listed for 700 wouldn't budge lower than 600 . Only problems I found are in the hood stand - steering column bushings are out and the hole is cracked and the bushings in the PTO engagement lever . This tractor wasn't used hard - not a leak or a seep anywhere. transmission oil was clean as a whistle no signs of water .

Well worth six bills. I bought 416-8 with 16 hp Onan. Previous owner added big tractor tires, little tires on front (guess he was going to pull it). It had major oil leak, called onan dealer ordered a frost plug.Runs like a champ.

SWEET!!! As said with that engine on that tractor --- well, has to be in the very top tier of the horses!

 

You done good, Grasshopper!

@Lagersolut I like you user name!.  My grandfather would raise his beverage to his buddies and say "Solut"  I never learned whether that was German or Czech.

I’m gonna post some updates after I pick this  up ...... checked the drive belt out ... judging by the cracks and  appearance...  dollar to donuts it’s still the original from factory

Nice score.  I love my C165 and the sound of its K341!

Best engine Kohler ever made and at the top of my favorite wheel horse models.

Picked it up tonight , started tearing into it as soon as I got it in the garage -exhaust flange was minus a gasket had a leak so low and behold right off the bat I twisted a bolt head off . This tractor is in good shape but it needs some TLC ( project officially started ) . Through my search here @rmaynard had a fix for that crack and bushing on the steering shaft at the hood stand . I'm posting the numbers I'm still not sure what year I have here ....numbers are really hard to decipher . All the trans seals are good no leaks . needs fuel line , points , condenser , nylon bushings in the PTO lever , new coil to plug wire , fuse holder , headlight bezels , shifter  boot  ....mostly small stuff .

It's was mentioned  in the thread below the damage/cracks to the steering shaft bushing and hood stand from someone using the steering wheel to get on and off the tractor . That's the case here the steering wheel is bent . I have a wish list for the classifieds here .

Very nice... I'll be following along... just put mine on the table this weekend too. Hoping it can be a winter project. Yours has a considerable head-start in the condition!
