simplejim Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 heres a brainteaser for you. i bought a tractor a few weeks ago that i think may be a 3416s but i dont know how to tell for sure. someone repainted the whole tractor red and they done a pretty good job even got rid of the decals.[ they did leave the running boards the original color of black ].i bought it without an engine or wheels and part of the i d tag is torn off so all i can make out on the tag is 87. i think it should read 872. its a shuttle shift and where the red paint is flaking off it is more orange in color.it looks like the ones from 1971-1974 in the brochures area of this site. any ideas?
simplejim Posted August 1, 2003 Author Posted August 1, 2003 i know......i really gotta figure out how to put them on here.i keep saying im going to do that.
Brent_Baumer Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 According to this chart: http://www.simpletractors.com/X-reference/s_ac_pg2.htm A 990872 is indeed a 3416S. Brent
simplejim Posted August 2, 2003 Author Posted August 2, 2003 thanks Brent,looks like the 3416 was the only model to use 99087x model numbers.now the hunt for an engine begins.on another note i put a set of 10.50 wide turf tires and wheels off a JD212 on the tractor and the one on the mower clutch side rubs the clutch even with the wheels turned out.
thedaddycat Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 I just posted this as a reply to a different post, but Small Engine Warehouse has Briggs 16 horse CI singles for $800-900 plus shipping.
Kent Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Jim, I have a similar problem. I bought a pair of wheels for 10.50's off an unknown brand and they rub the cone clutch... so they're sitting here for the next show/swap meet... The wheels must have the correct offset to clear everything....
MPH Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 The amount of reverse dish is different for different tractors. The ones off a Gilson don't work well on a B112 either. If you poke a tape against the center of the rim, eyeball down, or use a straightedge across the rim outter edge you can check the amount of dish..MPH
simplejim Posted August 3, 2003 Author Posted August 3, 2003 thanks,daddycat i'll keep that in mind if i cant find anything around home.Kent,MPH,i guess i just assumed that backspacing wouldnt be an issue with garden tractor wheels.i know better now.
