My lincwelder 225 has an onan CCKA. It sure runs smooth. I added a low psi electric fuel pump to avoid the old diaphragm pump dumping fuel into the crank case and it works great.
I have to say yet again I still think your video's a re some of if not the best on you tube, your mythodical in he way you do things and very clear and precise instruction, I learn something everytime I watch you and I'm 60 yrs old, keep up the great work.
It sounds fantastic, and I can't believe how well balanced it is - hardly any vibration. I have a John Deere D140 with a 2-cylinder Briggs - it's only about 3 years old and it vibrates a lot more than that one!
Hi there 5Tractorguy, i Just wanted to say i love your work mate. I really love how methodical you are and how you always use the right tool for the job at hand. Also the way you use your tools too, always very careful and precise. Keep up the great work, i can tell from watching and listening to you that you will be very successful in all that you do. I can tell you have a big heart and really enjoy your workshop time. Take care buddy. And i can't wait to see your next video.
I got the same intake setup on an Onan generator definitely not my favorite to work on, but it's a 5 KW generator that's been to Hell and back and still runs and putout perfectly fine.
Nice, these are great generator engines, bit thirsty on fuel but good none the less. Too bad they didn't design the carburetor mount bolts different so the manifold could stay on.
I'm working on one right now off a sears that had rust in the rear cylinder from water through the intake. I hate how people just let these things sit outside with no air cleaner on them. But, thats how we get them for a fair price. A bit of know-how and some elbow grease and it's worth every minute
'Tis... Seems to happen more often than not when someone stops halfway through a project/repair. It's even better when they leave the head off and let them sit, had a Cub like that last year.
YOu did GOOD, Jake! Id've wrung every bolt on that block off! Hope you find a crank too. Sweet runner. Can't beat an opposed twin sound OR run. The Vanguard on the Craftsman is still purring right along and they have to be tough to take what that one took. Not by me though! Hope all is well up there and you're not froze out. Had some ice down here last night but the rain ran it off. Glad this one was non smoking but I was sure worried when you drug out the ice chunks. I got a 4-horse Snapper and a plastic cam 7.75 pressure washer wannabe but the Snapper runs now and with all new fixins the washer will in warmer weather. Hope you're getting some 5-string time in, Pal! YOur Tarheel Uncle will not be pleased if you loose out on that OR Tarheel me, for that matter! Keep warm and pick me a tune!
Lewie! Did ya stumble upon the 2018 Archive video before this one? At 21:58 I do some brief pickin' on the 5 string... Starting to get out and pick more since the turn of the year. Getting together regularly with a couple guys from the area. Also went to a big bluegrass jam 2 weeks ago and got invited to play a gig May 11th. Have to see if I can get someone to grab some video of that. Good to wading through the bluegrass again.... It's a chilly 14deg this AM! Figured I'd sit here, answer comments and do some paperwork, give it a chance to "warm" up outside.
@@5Tractorguy Not yet, Jake but it's going to happen VERY shortly. Sure am glad you're limbering up more. I sure miss it The head never forgot but the hand can't do it anymore but that don't put a dent in still enjoying it to the max! Snag someone up front to get some good sound when yall do the picking. Stay warm and keep on wearing that 5 out. I'll be waiting on a fixing or a picking video. Your choice and HI 2 that Tarheel Uncle of yours from another one!
That 16 never ran quite right though at high throttle or under a load, I think due to the carburetor still being messed up. Since that CCKA runs nice I'll take a chance on it... worse comes to worse at least I'll have the Kohler to put back if it doesn't!
Just love the sound of a twin cylinder engine. When you get it all done and ready to go,..would you entertain the thought of a dual outlet muffler? They make a cool sounding engine ever better. I sure do hope you find the proper crank. for this one, you're correct in saying that it would be better to swap it for the present one. BTW,...18 to 20 minutes is good for a video like this. It sure was not boring for me, at least,....my opinion only, of course.
I will! Was thinking of putting dual stacks of some sort on either side of the hood. No straight pipes of course (can't listen to that all day plowing), but something along the lines of a Farmall Cub stack muffler, I think it would look and sound neat. Me too, I can't tell you how many 450 cranks I've seen on Ebay over the years and now that I need one, there's none! Good, that's what I was figuring for time. 15-20min is still reasonable to watch...
@@5Tractorguy Yes, those twin pipes would sound great, I'm sure. On that topic of straight pipes,.I often wonder how folks with those pipes on motor cycles can hear themselves think, after an hour's run on those so equipped 'bikes'! About 6 years ago, I drove a brand new Harley with those pipes on it and had to get it back to the guy a s a p, just to save my hearing! So yes, running your tractor with them would put your hearing at risk not to mention your sanity. Re. the non-availability of crankshafts,..same story for me too,.." Oh, I could have gotten that for you, but it was sold a week ago!" How many times have I heard that line? Keep looking, though,.you'll find one soon,..hopefully.
Dang Jake!...quick go buy some lottery tickets! You must really be in tune with the universe to get all of those nuts/bolts off that cleanly... Shoulda dropped those two cylinder cubes into a glass of sweet tea..lol
You're telling me! I've snapped those before working on 'em. Nice not to have to drill them out... Haha little bit of carbon and rust never hurt no one!
Those onans have their own unique sound I love my performer 218g things a torque monster your valves sounded a little tappy but maybe a minor adjustment would have fixed that
I have one of these and the 816 it came from. The flywheel loosened up and wallowed out the keyway. Might just weld the flywheel back on and let ‘er rip. Love the Onans - hate buying parts for ‘em.
Yeah, the keyway could be worked around but the iron hub on the flywheel is pretty much shattered so it’s been rendered useless without some remedial welding. And even then the whole thing would be pretty dodgy. Too bad because the motor has low hours since a quick and dirty rebuild.
Cool! The tracksters are pretty neat, there was one for sale around here for a bit. Wish I could trade my Sierra Trail Boss 6X6 for something interesting.
The twin Onan engine is just great machine. Would you say this is just a good as the old Kohler twin ???Could you be able to tell me if I could email you with questions that I have working on my tractor project Sir ??? Thanks look forward to hear from you Sir. Keep up the great video's.
Have to say I like the Kohler K twins better in terms of how they run. I got to work on a K482 on a WH earlier this winter, couldn't believe how smooth it ran! Sure, you can email me, but until Plow Day is over, I won't have much time for response until beginning of May. My secondary email address is fretwater@yahoo.com. Send me an email and I'll direct you to my main address. -Jake
Hey man, quick question. In your opinion what is the best way to de-carbon a piston and top end? I took apart my first Kohler k181, never been this deep in motor.
Hey Kyle, best bet I've found is a razor scraper, picks and small wire brush. That's what I use to clean everything out. Razor you can scrape the top of the piston and block/cylinder head off, picks I'll get around the valve heads and seats and wire brush to get the rest once the heavy stuff is off. Careful with an aggressive wire brush on the piston though, it'll dig into the aluminum.
Sure Michael, it's a "Handy" Air Lift Table. Capacity of 1,000lbs at 90psi. It's an older model, uses a large truck style air bag to raise the table. Here's their website- www.handyindustries.com/
I hava a question,I dont know why the onan engines doesn't make modern 4 stroke engines?the brand onan can copy the structures from honda engines and briggs & stratton engines and the kohler engines。
I don't know when Onan stopped producing small engines, I'd assume right around the time or after Cummins bought them. Far as I know, they only build generators now with other manufactures engines.
@@5Tractorguy cummins is about generators and vehicules engines，but cummins not make gasolines engines，only diesel engines，detroit make gasoline and diesel engines
Wouldn't that sorta take away from the whole "old tractor" aspect of it? Anyone can swap in a new engine now-a-days, happens way too much on these old tractors.
I have more gasket paper here than I can shake a stick at... If I re-used any in the video it was because I wasn't sure if the engine was going to run. No sense in taking the time to make/buy gaskets if it was junk.
My lincwelder 225 has an onan CCKA. It sure runs smooth. I added a low psi electric fuel pump to avoid the old diaphragm pump dumping fuel into the crank case and it works great.
Nice! Just for future reference, you can still get the mechanical fuel pump diaphragms online if you search ebay for them. About $20 in change...
I have to say yet again I still think your video's a re some of if not the best on you tube, your mythodical in he way you do things and very clear and precise instruction, I learn something everytime I watch you and I'm 60 yrs old, keep up the great work.

Sounds good. I can’t believe you got those 4 muffler bolts out.
Me too. This couldn't have been rebuilt all that long ago if that happened....
Thats a smooth running engine as is..Im surprized. It will make a great engine for your tractor when your done with it!
And it'll sound neat too!
Love those appose twins smooth running, it will be a good engine .
I love Onan's, the sound, smell and just general quirkiness. This was a great video.
Thanks Craig, they definitely have a unique sound from all the other twins when running. Especially the CCK's.
Not bad sounding ! I have a IH Cub Cadet 982 with a 19 hp Onan and love it ! It’s my go to tractor for garden work and yard work .
That's a good model Cub! I had a 682 and 782 here for a while, was going to combine the two to make one, but you know how free times gets short...

gotta love those old onan engines, really smooth.
onan's have the smoothest awesome sound
Nice to see another youtuber using a Briggs Gas Tank.

why not a newer 24hp.???

oh dear, turning that crank shaft to fit just seems so wrong, better to build fabricate/modify an existing gear to suit.
