...since the ad said"Deutz Allis 16HP".But after driving an hour and a half,came home with an AGCO Allis instead.Has a 16HP Vanguard that dropped a valve,and pretty much destroyed the motor.Also a 48" deck. Don't know if I'm going to fix it,or part it.

Looks in pretty good shape from what's visable in the pic - maybe too good to part out. Wish you good luck with it regardless of its fate.

Kenny I like it...! If I were you Id look for a Briggs 16 or 18hp twin... Id think that it would drop right in. And a 48" deck? Nice find!

I've got the same tractor but '92 in a Broadmoor. Those vanguards are really touchy on the valves. I just did another valve job this summer, and have a spare engine laying in wait for it.

I have this tractor with a trashed Vanguard,and I bought a Broadmoor last year,that also had a trashed Vanguard 12.5HP(threw a rod).According to both previous owners,they both were serviced reguarly,and weren't being worked hard,when they let go.Maybe a coincidence,I don't know. I may try to fit an I/C to this one.One problem is having to come up with a fuel pump,since the tank is under the seat. Matt,I'm not sure about the replaceable filter,I'll have to look.

Mr Goat, fuel pump should be easy, as in a stand alone vacuum pump or a Napa electric pump. IC's should be easy to get such as Murray's where or MTD's where the engine outlasts the mower. A 12 HP if nothing else would handle that frame just right.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
