The Herd Grows

Blackhood Bill

Well about a week or so ago found this one Facebook Market Place. It is a1994 416-8 come with the deck. The hood says 312-8 but the P.O. stayed it is better looking one that was on it. It does smoke a bit on startup, but oil needs changed, dirty needs a bath, needs a few odds and ends but overall not to bad. Deck had a belt missing so only center blade was turning. The hour meter (IF accurate has 446.8 on it) all the dash lights work. Looks to have original rear tires.

Looks nice, congrats on your new purchase. I picked up an 88 416-8 with a 48" deck about a week ago. Havent had much time playing around with it yet. Mines has the Kohler Magnum

@D_Mac I really wish this had the Kohler, I’m not familiar with the Oman’s, but I guess I can learn.

The hour meter, if working, will only run when the engine is running.  If it's working then it should be accurate.  Baseline it and focus on cleaning the electrical connections, especially the 9-pin connector, fuse block and connector for the 5-pin relay that operates the starter.  I ran a wire from the center terminal of the regulator to the positive lug on the starter. Use high temp wire and run it thru the high temp wire sleeve that crosses the top of the engine.  Change the headlights to par36 LEDs.  Doing these things will reduce the load thru the 9-pin and help keep it from burning up.

      Afternoon gentlemen friend of mine's father passed after a long illness, and he is now the owner of his Wheel Horse 416-8 with the Onan P216.  He wants to sell it to me as he has other tractors. I never owned and Onan Machine what advice can you give me. It has been in storage for 5 years and of course according to him "ran when parked" Has 365 hours on it. Thanks in advance going to look at it this Wednesday.

      Inexpensive - Carlisle X Trac ATV Bias Tire - 16x6.50-8 Good quality (I expect) Should look nice with my large rear aggies  
      I don't know how much these have been discounted, but I expect anything you find like this from a good brand will be 2X to 3X the price. $45 each at Amazon. This tire is discontinued. 
       
      Rough measurement seems they are about 16" tall and the lugs are about 1/2" deep.

      416-8 with Onan P216 Engine
      The good:
      *576 hours
      *Nice, clean deck (42”)
      *Nice Plow
      *Wheel Weights
      *Chains
      *2nd owner. 1st owner sold the house in 2020 and said he was getting too old so he included it with the house.
      *Original receipts and paperwork and manuals.
      *Receipt showing tune-up and changing from the deck to the plow in November 2021
      The bad:
      *The last time it was used was the winter of ‘21/‘22. It is currently set up with the plow.
      *Had trouble starting, when it started, it died after 4-5 seconds. He had a portable charger and it helped. We got it running, but when I turned it down to idle, it died. 
      *I didn’t get a chance to test drive it because of this.
      *One front tire goes flat fast, one rear tire has a slow leak.
      *He is going to buy a battery before I look at it again on Friday so I can test drive it.
      What do you think is the issue? Is it the battery or fuel system?
      Do you have a way to verify what year this is with the ID number and serial number? Also, the ID number of the deck. I’ll upload pictures of the stickers.
      *He says his driveway has an incline so snow and ice would pool around his door opening so he got tired of his wheels spinning. He decided to pay for plow service. (Home is big and nice with a lot of land.) He also decided to get a zero-turn mower so that’s why this 416-8 wasn’t used since after winter ‘21/‘22.
      He’s asking $500.

      Will the PTO work from the 312 Hydro with a 12 hp Kohler onto the 416-8 Onan?  My PTO disc went today. Any help would be most appreciated.
