Linamar Engine Manual4/24/2021
I guess its originial to the 318, I dont know From what I have found out, its basicly Onan engine, as Onan licenced Linamar to manufacture Onan engines using their tooling.The early engines still had the Onan name and then Linamar produced engines with their name on them.Since 1972. I went to my local lawn mower repair shop, which has been around for 15-20 years and the owner, operator said, he never heard of them when I tried to buy a oil filter for it, and he sells Cub Cadet garden tractors.
To the best of my knowledge, they are part for part compatible with the later spec Onan engines. Also, as far as I know, Onan built Onans were standard in all the 318420s but the dealerships did replacements with Linamars after manufacture moved to Canada. Dont fault your local shop for not knowing about Linamars - unless he is an Onan guy, he would have no occasion to have learned that. They offered me a Job in Canada but I being brought up an Alabama country boy I could not see myself in the great white north. So it is true that Lanimar make replacement Onan engines for a few years. In my opinion the Onan engines were a fine engine in its days. ![]() This is the first garden tractor Ive had with a spin on oil filter. Sounds like these engines may be a good re power option for 318s and other opposed twins. Block is cracked. Its hard to find a good running onan for less than 500. So I am trying to find a replacement, anyone ever replace the onan or linamar with something else Sorry to steal the thread Thanks, Charles. After reading this thread I am more educated. Thank you. I will have to keep it in mind for my 318.
