[QUOTE="Luckyperk47, post: 69797, member: 9940"] You are correct the case 1816 will tip! I rotated the wheels so the total machine was 36 inch wide. I got in a hurry trying to get a small culvert covered before it got dark. Backed over about an 8" rock with the bucket down. It bounced and turned over on its side. I hit my head on the top of the cage. For a few seconds I did not know what happened. The Onan engine was still running. I still had my hands on the joy sticks and nothing was responding! Looked over my left shoulder and saw the ground! Smelled gasoline! I killed the engine and crawled out with knees jumping in and out of sockets! I was extremely lucky! No bones broken!. The sudden stop hitting the ground broke the mounting flanges off the Onan oil pan. I knew better than to get in a hurry running too fast! It only takes a second for a dumb move to be deadly even in a small machine. I walked away with bruises and much more safety minded. I turned the wheels back out wide and put a counter weight on the back. I found another oil pan on Ebay for $20.00. I managed to get the Onan to run about half throttle which gave it enough power to push snow and ice and not stall. I checked compression and have about 90 in both cylinders. Something is causing the Onan to stall out now and loose power. It is getting plenty of gas. The valves may be sticking, or the valve springs weak. I joined the Onan Engine club and have read every post available. Yesterday I got the Wisconsin engine and Hydrostatic tranny mounted in my Ford CL 20. I think I can get it running.
