CHARGER9AUTO 3 #1 Posted November 28, 2007 I worked on my 416-8 today and removed all the electrical wires from the key switch and volt meter I'd used a wire hand detail brush to clean the terminals on the switch there were no bare wires or broken connections anywhere . so I rerouted the wires to where they should be ( key switch ) and volt meter well I took out the battery from my '72 Commando 800 and put it the 416 and it started up with no problem at all Karl was right it was a bad battery I have been thinking about selling my '88 416-8 at the show next year one year someone asked if it was for sale and I said no it's too new for me .

CHARGER9AUTO 3 #3 Posted November 28, 2007 I doubt you'll have much trouble getting rid of that... Kevin Kevin, Yeah. Karl should buy my 416-8 to keep his 416-H and 414-8 company so they won't get lonely . Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,259 #4 Posted November 29, 2007 It would keep everyone happy now wouldn't it, but got other purchases this time of year, so tractor purchases have to be put on hold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,259 #6 Posted November 29, 2007 Nah everyone meaning, Jeffery (C-120), Old Bess (414-8) and Max (416-H). They're looking for more kin and are happy when a new one comes along. They didn't take kindly to the 32-8 RER I got, so it had to go.... And yes, the Tractor budget is empty at this time of year. New budget next year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curmudgeon 28 #8 Posted November 29, 2007 That's why I've never sold one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did trade in my first Wheel Horse before the bug bit, and I regret that. I've also more or less given some away, but since that was for good cause, I don't regret those. Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,259 #9 Posted November 29, 2007 I'll tell ya, I would NEVER sell my 416. It was the first Wheel Horse that I owned my self, the previous one was my dad's, and I bought it new, and the cost of a new 416-H makes you think twice about ever selling it :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
