Yes, it's a 1976. Onanparts.com is one source. Used coils show up on e-Bay.

There was a problem with a certain four bolts in the trans-axle breaking. Look on the underside of the rear end and see if there is a hole in the housing. If not then perhaps it hasn't reached that stage yet but you need to be cautious all the same. For now, leave the trans-axle in neutral. Let's get the engine running first and then talk about what needs to be done after that. The oil reservoir for the hydraulics is under the battery and the fill is on the left side. Before running the tractor, make sure that the oil level is at 5 inches below the top of the fill neck. Use 20W50 motor oil to top it up.

Check the oil level in the engine and make sure it's full. Use 30W for that.

Thanks i'll check that later when it stops raining. Would any 12 volt coil for a twin work?

I just got in a good used coil, JD 318 but same thing. If you're interested in a used part, shoot me a PM.

Forgot to mention. Only an Onan coil will fit. I have used a Kohler twin coil breifly and it worked. It must be a 'twin plug lead' coil.
