    water in rear end

    8ntruck replied to Charrie's topic in Transmissions and transaxles

    Probably would not be a bad idea to use that store brand motor oil (30 wt?) as a flush. Diesel fuel will work here, too. After the flush, drain it again and refill with 80wt gear oil - store brand here is adequate. As part of the flush procedure, you need to run the tractor around for a few minutes, including tight right hand and left hand turns and run it in all gears to thourally circulate the flushing fluid and try to get the crud in the transmission stirred up and suspended in the oil so it gets drained out. When draining the transmission, it helps to raise the front of the tractor as high as safely possible for you. There is a hump in the floor of the transmission, and raising the front of the tractor allows the oil ahead of the hump to get to the drain plug.

    Our work would have gone a bit quicker if the lift link on my dozer blade had not gone AWOL.

    Hi all. I recently acquired a 1985 Wheel Horse 416-8 with the Kohler engine on it. PO said it had been parked under a cover for a few years. It shows some weather mild weather damage but can be cleaned up. Haven't tired to start it yet. PO said he parked it at the end of the season and it wouldn’t start next spring. He did a little work and then acquired a new mower. We drained the rear end and a lot of clear water came out at first, at least a qt. After the water came some black looking oil. After draining I put in 2 qts of store brand motor oil that was in shed and turned the wheels by hand. Also before the shiftier was a bit hard to change gears but now it seems to work great. What should I do from here? I read a post to flush with kerosene and another where someone disassembled the rear end and cleaned everything. The latter is probably the best way to go but I wanted to get some opinions. I did replace a rear axle seal on my 520h and this 416-8 has a leaking seal. Working on building a new storage building but at the moment I really don’t have a good place to disassemble the rear axle. When I was younger my dad taught me how to rebuild small engines but I have always been intimidated by transmissions. Thanks Charrie

    Manuals should be in the files section. It should have had a electric start Tecumseh HH50 in it but a k91 is acceptable. Or a Briggs or predator.

    Nope not a D- Series or even a Wheel Horse, but other than that I don’t know what it is? I’m curious to know though! Someone here will know, just give it a little time.

    Boy don’t I know all too well about that! Last week someone here had pictures of them cutting a field with golden rod in it and I thought the same thing. Just looking at it made my eyes burn and my nose run. I certainly don’t miss those days!!

    Morgan, the 14-8, got some exercise today hauling about 4 yards of topsoil from where the dump truck left it to where it was needed. Had help from the neighbor's 'property manager' and his son. We had sea chanties playing while we were doing the rake & shovel work. Here is where we started: And a couple views of the finished job: Next step is to seed it. Any advice for what type of seed to use in a shaded area? Initial research indicates a mix of soft fescue and tall fescue would be a good choice.

    A friend of mine used to mow a slope as a favor to his neighbor. He could have used that dually set up. The day he rolled that tractor over was his last.

    It doesn’t look like a D series to me. Jacobson, maybe?

    Onan P-Series Ignition Module Replacement [Photos]

    lynnmor replied to Duramax7man7's topic in Engines

    I believe that the insulator under the module is to lessen the heat transfer from the block, earlier models didn't have it but you should add one. You can make one from gasket material. You can download the Operators Manual and the Onan Service Manual here. The troubleshooting methods will be in there. The module is indeed grounded thru the mounting screws. You can add a temporary line to to insure that 12 volts are getting to the coil. Coils fail from heat much the same way as the module. The trigger ring may be faulty, early black ones had more failures than the newer gray ones. Be sure that you installed the flywheel key correctly.

    Looks like it might be a D series. Single cylinder engine suggests that it is a 16 horse D 160.

    Non-Ethanol Fuel or Regular ?

    adsm08 replied to hotajax's topic in Engines

    Yes. It lower the cost per gallon at the pump, but increased the cost per mile as it goes out the exhaust, and you pay extra taxes for the subsidies. But by the time everyone realized it was a bad deal any politician that tried to walk it back was going to loose their next re-election bid. What was that saying? "There is nothing as permanent as a temporary government program"?

    Thinking I'll just get it running with a Predator 212cc engine and enjoy it. Planning to do a trans flush and see what it looks like in there. Someone has cut off the rod for the clutch pedal. It's there just cut. Got to figure how to align it and weld it back. Hunting up all the pieces in the shipping container. Looking forward to getting some great information on this cool little tractor. Dave
