14 pointsHad the opportunity today to buy out another closed Wheel Horse dealership about 45 minutes away. Lots of good stuff, good mix of discontinued parts, lots of Kohler. Long day but should be worth it. Enjoy the photos boys.

6 pointsAugust 9, 2010, JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater quits his job in dramatic style by sliding down his plane’s emergency-escape chute while the aircraft is stopped near the terminal gate at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Slater, who claimed his actions were prompted by the behavior of a rude passenger, quickly became a media sensation and national folk hero.

3 pointsTime for an update. Getting to the point of installing the painted parts as the humidity is not the best for outdoor priming and painting.

2 pointsFind the model number for the deck, if that isn’t possible then take your best guess as to the year. You can look up parts on the Toro website and then do a search for the best deal. Most of the 48” were about the same.

2 pointsReplaced front wheel bearings on last 312-8 I acquired and sprayed some Regal Red on a set of WH rear weights, that are allocated for a 520H.

1 pointMaking good progress on the 420. A LOT of hours into it at this point removing the paint on the sheet metal. If WH had used primer it may have come off a little easier ? on this series tractors.Letting things set up before reassembly. Hoping to have it somewhat ready for the September Meet & Greet. Those chrome mylar decals take some patience to remove.Some before and after pics.

1 pointAnd if they have a bad connection where I put the red arrow, it will not work. Ask me how I know?….😂😂

1 pointI got to see that in person a few years at the very Rock and Race event they mentioned in the video. Dragway 42 is only about an hour and a half away from us so every few years we try to make it out there for the Rock and Race and one of our buddies is the guy that puts it on and organizes it.

1 pointI was looking for some inspiration for the paint job on my new plane. That Learjet is cool, but I think I need something a little more red!

1 pointThe 9-pin connector and the fuse block has been attacked by the usual klutz. I doubt that you need an entire wiring harness, just clean up the mess caused by the klutz. I doubt that you can find a harness anywhere. The solenoid is part of the starter. Download the Demystification Guide, and the Onan engine manual. As you go along, ask questions here.

1 pointThe early models had no gas spring, the geometry was such that the seat would lay on the steering wheel. Modified springs, adjustment tracks and aftermarket seats cause a problem.

1 pointWell you may not be an electrical expert now....and maybe a 520 is not the best place to start ...but you will I guess become an electrical expert.

1 pointHaven't done it yet but these might go on the 161 with the FEL to improve the strain on steering components. Crappy, dirty looking rims with wheelbarrow tires came on an off-brand cart I acquired somehow. Bushings and zerk fittings and when I stripped the junk tires and knocked the bushings out, they were really nice looking 4" x 8 rims with potential. Hit them with some degreaser and ordered some decent bearings and a pair of 4 ply Deestone tri-ribs.

1 pointThat's a great looking rig right there! You'll probably need to be slow and methodical to back it into the garage though

1 pointUp for sale is my 1990 520-8. Has the swept front axle and an 8 speed trans. Supposedly only 225 of this model were made? I bought it a few years ago with no engine or rear tires/wheels as a project. Not a fan of the Onan so I installed a good running Kohler Magnum 10. Got it all wired in so the the fuel gauge as well as the volt and hour meter work. Headlights work as well as the idiot light test switch. I replaced a couple seals in the transmission so it’s not a leaker. Includes a nice 42” side discharge deck (just mowed with it yesterday). Has front traction tires and factory turfs in the rear with the correct wide/deep wheels. I was running 10.5 ags but they touched the rear guide wheels on the 42” deck, the 10.5 turfs do not. Nothing wrong with it, I was just thinking I should maybe reduce the number of tractors here. Located in Andover Ct. Come take it for a spin!

1 pointWasn't sure whether to put this in the Sulky thread or the wagon thread. Only three items left to finish up, and my wife's ride for the Tri-State Antique Engine & Tractor Show & Flea Market will be ready to roll! Padded seat cover for the sulky Apply bedliner to the inside of the wagon Apply the Wheel Horse decal.
-
1 pointWell, it's red now! Inside will get black bed liner. Terry put the decal in the mail this morning. Sulky's next on the list.

1 pointI really wish you guys would stop putting down other brands, they will all break down eventually. The truth is, that slogan started with Deere's snowmobile line in the early 1970s. And it stuck. And the truth is that Deere makes probably the best line of lawn and garden tractors today with their X series line, made in Horicon, Wisconsin. Their 7 gauge deck, known as the 7 Iron, is the only 7 gauge deck that is stamped from a single piece of steel. The other manufacturers have to fabricated their commercial decks, using 7 gauge for the sides and 10 gauge for the top section and welding them together to make a deck. Only Deere has a press large enough to stamp 7 gauge metal. Rounded corners means less material buildup to corrode and rust a deck. It's also sad, though, that Deere choses to penalize their ag buyers with their policy for repairs. I know the auto industry wants to do this as well. Sad.

1 pointNot at auction - but I also picked up a nice pair of Carlisle Tru Power Ags on rims for $125 off of Marketplace
-
1 pointI popped a couple 1/4” holes in the front corners, just for that reason Great score! I nabbed mine at a local on site estate auction for $5, I was the only bidder. While I was basking in my glory of a great pick, someone had weaseled a front mount RJ sickle mower around a corner for the same single bid.

1 pointSeveral of us have done this swap. And Vanguard 12.5 to 23 hp horizontal shaft engines are all very similar. Electrical- since your WorkHorse had magneto ignition the wiring is easy. Vanguards are magneto ignition so no changes there. Mechanical- check the PTO shaft on your engine. It should be 1 inch diameter and about 3 inches long. Again, exactly the same as a Vanguard. Also the PTO brackets bolt right up on a Vanguard. Engine mounting- This is primarily the part you'll need to do some work. I had to fabricate a mount plate to raise the engine about 1 inch higher and the bolt pattern is not the same. In short you will need to fab up an adapter but it is a simple job. The complexity is really up to you and what you can make up. Flip through the threads below and there are pics of some of mine. Hopefully others will chime in as well. 523-H build Another Fronkenstein
