Description

John Deere 316 vintage garden tractor Onan engine 1985 lawn mower.
*Tractor is located in Northern New York*
Original condition JD tractor. Needs work or restoring. The engine runs, but only on choke. This is the B43E, 16 horse, 2 cylinder Onan engine. Suspected intake manifold air leak. The gas tank has been flushed, and new fuel line and fuel filter installed. Carburetor has been cleaned. That’s where I stopped. No time to continue with this project. Tires all hold air, but are weather checked. There is no hour meter, so unknown amount of hours on the tractor. The throttle cable has been changed and is not original. This was done before I got it.
Tractor is sold as seen in photos. No mowing deck, or implements. As-is condition.
*There IS a belly screen for the tractor*- it has been found! :)
Please ask any Qs. I can take more pics if needed. Local pickup only, I don’t have ramps. Tractor can be driven on a trailer. I would like pickup to be done on an evening or weekend.
Thanks!
Don’t like the price and want the tractor, make an offer!
This tractor needs to be out of my yard by the end of the year! The ad will be taken down, and it’s not going to be reposted. If you want this tractor, you better act soon. Thanks
