nylyon-(Admin) 7,291 #1 Posted May 15, 2022 I bought my 416-Hydro new in 1993 (1994 model) and for the past couple of years wanted a 416-8 to match. Finally picked up a super clean 1995 416-8, thank you and it was great meeting you @Brockport Bill 9 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,291 #6 Posted May 16, 2022 I was able to get my 520 seat installed, and the 42” RD deck. Started to rain so no additional work or pictures, should be cutting grass this weekend! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,326 #9 Posted May 17, 2022 So is the 416-H going into semi-retirement? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,291 #10 Posted May 17, 2022 It’s been on limited service for a few years now, this one is nice too, gonna be hard to decide 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,291 #11 Posted May 17, 2022 Just finished it‘s first chore, mowing the lawn. The verdict: this is a sweet tractor, ran beautifully, so comfortable like a 416 should be. The deck on the other hand….. well let’s just say I shouldn’t have been so cheap and should have bought the deck Bill had as well. Going to replace the spindles with the super quiet ones on my rusted out deck, that should do the trick. Either that or buy another brand new deck if they’re still available. looking forward to cleaning up the hydro for a family photo shoot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
