Snagged a Deere 316 at a good price off Craigslist.
its a 1984 with the b43e(16hp 2cyl onan with points ignition), has the 50" deep mowing deck.
Runs great.. this is the best idling onan out of the 3 in the family (another 316 and a 318)
Starts easy, very smooth power/throttle. Hydro works correctly, no creep
Deck seems to have almost new bearings, new battery, 3 hours on the transmission(hydro) fluid.
Needs a deck wheel mount welded, the deck height stop adjusted down .75" or so.. and a few a fuel shutoff installed, some paint this winter
All in all pretty "Swank"
