I did NOT expect to find this issue! Cheap For a Reason….

Don't be disappointed, your keeping it real on what you can run into from buying on the marketplace. Keep the videos coming enjoying and informative info all the time.

Good to see a feller post a video on a Wednesday night

[@EnthusiasticTruck-xh7ss]

I have Wi-Fi on my TV so I've been watching KZbin like that I've watched every episode of your your tractors I like it so much I want to put it on my tablet and give you the credit of every video cuz it's so good I'm going to watch everyone again and another one after that one that's how good your channel is thank you again for the video Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's

[@EnthusiasticTruck-xh7ss]

I like your channel, no I love your channel I breathe tractors I can't get enough of them I will be going through chemo soon so I needed extra channels to watch to keep me busy I got prostate cancer it was gone for 8 years its back

[@LaidOffGarage]

Thanks for the kind words. And I hate to hear that about the cancer. Best of the luck on doing chemo!

[@mattsmithingell5972]

I would keep the good parts

[@Simon-ke1mt]

Half way throgh the video, when you stated cranking on it, hearing the engine what it sounded like I already thought: kinda sounds like its only building compression on one cylinder. But I did not expect, to see the entire piston and conecting rod missing, thats crazy😮 But good video, you cant be always lucky with these old tractors.

[@LaidOffGarage]

What even crazier is that it started and ran on one cylinder back in the summer

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

I’m in no way disappointed by this outcome or your lack of a successful resolution, Levi! This is a real life problem slash mystery! What we really want to know is how did this engine end up this way! Also, FWIW, I think you’ve acquired so many of these you’ve confused this machine with another you actually did run when you got it. Either that or a former owner had some secret mojo for getting it to run well on one cylinder. Come to think of it, the lawn tractor that got me into small engine work 3.5 years ago ran for one whole season on one cylinder - I didn’t know enough about them to think otherwise!

[@LaidOffGarage]

I promise you rein, that tractor started and ran and drove onto my trailer back in the summer. That’s why I was even more shocked to see it was only rocking one piston !

need to build another storage building Aaron, my Indiana brother!

[@gilliland426]

my 1993 wheel horse needs a good wiring harness and hour meter gauge. plus hub caps

[@LaidOffGarage]

Let me check if this hour meter is working. If so, you pay for the shipping and you can have it !

Your video was great timing! I just acquired a WH 416H as a non-running parts tractor off FB. Found the same issue you described with a broken connecting rod in the front cylinder. Haven’t messed much with Onans, not sure if it worth messing with trying to fix or junk it and sell it for parts.

[@LaidOffGarage]

If the tractor is in good shape, I recommend checking out repower options !

[@noncertex]

I never worked on an Onan engine. I hear parts are hard to get.

[@donaldboley771]

My buddy bought a little car once that he was told it had a 4speed transmission and he knew they only came as 5 speed. So when he got home he found the 5th gear in the trunk. 😅

[@LaidOffGarage]

Wonder if that previous owner used to work on Wheelhorse’s too ….

[@rusticironacres]

Time for a diesel swap.

[@Gräsklipparmarodören]

lol thats actually funny

[@LaidOffGarage]

All you can do is laugh about it right ? SMH

[@goofe.washington953]

I realize you’re disappointed that the video didn’t end as you’d like, but it’s nothing that two or three cold snacks can’t fix.

[@LaidOffGarage]

I’m already scheming on how to resolve this unfair ending 😉
