Hammerhead 817 #1 Posted May 25, 2014 I am having a yard sale this Saturday(already over), Sunday and Monday. There will be about 20 WH's for sale if anybody wants to stop by to buy a WH or 2, feel free to come over. A young feller stopped by and said he likes JD stuff. I told him I had one cool JD item, a 1960's Model # 50 dump cart. He said he was interested in it and he had one old WH to trade for it! I asked him what he had and he got out his trusty smart phone and showed me a pic. It was a descent looking 416H with a 2 cylinder Onan engine that runs! He asked if I had any push mowers and I showed him a new fangled Toro that is a nice one. He said he would trade the WH for the dump cart and the push mower if I would do it? I said casually, uhhh yep, I would go for that! He said he would stop by tomorrow with it. I got his number just in case! So I hope he shows up with it! I will take pics of it if he shows up. Wahoooo! Keith 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,518 #2 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Kid stuck you good! A cart and push mower for a 416? If he were 'round my way, I would throw in a Craftsman hand-held leaf blower and a gallon plastic gas can! Now you're goin' to hurt! Didn't you realize the 416's are no longer produced? PS. You just got hammered! Edited May 25, 2014 by Tankman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,164 #5 Posted May 25, 2014 I bet only the left overs and rough stuff is for sale. Keith wouldn't let any 603's go would he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,126 #6 Posted May 25, 2014 I know you can't take it with you... but, it would be sad to see that collection get split up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerhead 817 #7 Posted May 27, 2014 Well I didn't sell any WH's at my yard sale. But I did get the 416H delivered and traded for. Turns out it is even better than a 416H. It is actually a 516H! It has the original 2 Cylinder Onan engine. He said it ran with some effort from him and his buddy. But when I tried to start it, it was missing some parts! No ignition switch or throttle cable. So I took an ignition switch off of a 312-8 speed tractor and installed it. That didn't make it crank over so no go so far! I check out some of the wiring and it looked suspect. I will have to mess with it with a volt meter to figure it out. It is in good condition though. It looks like some engine guards are missing too. I will need a manual too so I can figure out the wiring. I will post some pics on a new thread. Thanks a lot guys! KJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

km3h 543 #9 Posted May 27, 2014 Careful with the ignition switch. They are not all the same with the Wheel Horse. Onan uses a different switch than Briggs I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
