Oh, there’s only a couple places that even know what Onan is around here and every time I ask if they carry any parts they laugh and give me somewhere else to call or they can order the part for $500 more than ordering it online myself. I wasn’t sure if you found like a generic one because I only ever saw these on Onans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the newest Wheel Horse with an Onan engine is now a quarter of a century old, parts must be purchased wherever you can find them. That key has the long tail on it to drive the magnetic trigger ring for the ignition, they basically used the same engine that had points and upgraded to electronic without significant changes. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snoopy11 5,713 #86 Posted November 18, 2021 8 hours ago, Handy Don said: 316 stainless is pretty hard stuff, right? Doesn't this sort of defeat the purpose of having a key by making it more likely that the crankshaft or flywheel will be damaged rather than an inexpensive and (relatively) easily replaced woodruff key? 316 is extremely hard... and time consuming to cut. The mild steel woodruff keys last... just not long enough for me. I am unsure that woodruff keys are ...designed to break or round-off. I just personally have had issues with them rounding off. Now, I could go in and put another mild steel key in, and run it for how ever long the key lasts, then repeat the cycle. OR, go with something stronger... that way I don't have to keep replacing... Maybe my logic is screwed up somewhere... but those are my thoughts. I run 316 on my hubs, engine pulley, and flywheel. I haven't had an issue since I did this. Personally, I don't want a woodruff key deciding how much power gets transmitted to my wheels or PTO... but that's just me... To keep things from breaking... I just go easy on the skinny pedal...

My face has grown almost to the back of my neck... I had an uncle once who never went more than 24 hours without shaving. I asked him why that was, and he said "I refuse to allow anything to grow on my face that runs rampant everywhere else on my body"... Rascal kept a full head of hair into his 80s. Maybe there's something to that, but it's too late for me to try it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s an excellent way to put it into perspective.

rjg854 10,737 #94 Posted November 18, 2021 It will be the same team as last year, C-160 for plowing And the 16 Auto for snow throwing. 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse520H 706 #95 Posted November 18, 2021 That’s a better team than I got @rjg854, as previously mentioned. Not to mention I only have one plow and no snow thrower. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,737 #96 Posted November 18, 2021 The only time the thrower comes out is if I get more than 6" of snow, or if I want to blow the snow pack farther off the driveway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s quite often here that we get 6” or more, but it’s wetter and heavier here on the bay side of the Bay State, so a thrower might not work as well, especially later in the season, coincidentally when we get more snow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
