Love the order seats tractors!!!❤ I have had a few. 68 Custom 8, Custom 10XL and a 67 Custom 6 ive fully restored over the years. Now I've cashed them in for a 1972 Case 446 now fully restored and updated with a properly installed Briggs Vanguard V twin 23hp. The wrong or not particularity correct method is to buy the installation kit for these engines to do this swap. Unfortunate you lose your manual PTO clutch set-up and they replace them with a electric PTO clutch. Then when using the almost $1500 dollar kit not including the engine itself, the hoods dont properly fit, so they give you a spacer to elevate the front of the hood. I chose the correct manner in which to do this, and it cost me under $150 bucks in materials! And everything fits like it should and everything OEM, operates perfectly like it should from the factory including the amazingly well built hand fabricated 48" mower deck, which is my everyday lawnmower today now. Oh yes them Onan engines had definite issues with their ignition systems when they began messing around with electronic ignition under the flywheels. One of the main features of when they're failing is, they run a little while until they get warm and then you'll lose spark until it cools down again. Theres a aftermarket kit i believe offered on Ebay now for these Onan's with the dual coil leads or the electronic ignition disasters....... 😊 Keep the old real machines running! Theyll never be made so well ever again let alone made in America 🇺🇸 for the most part. Unlike the fake braided plastic garbage they've been trying to ride coat tails on for decades now of great names! These original founders of these companies be spinning in their graves if they knew how badly their companies name and reputation is being dredged through the mud claiming to be the original parent companies! BS and BS! Box stores killed the American Dreamers Off !
