Hi just picked up a 520H with 322 hours. My question is the vin tag is faded and can't be read is there any way to find out what year it is to print off the manuels? It has the hydro/lift controls on the column with a swept front axle. Thanks Jim

Hi Karl, I just added a picture. Thanks again Jim

Its either a 93,94 or a 1995. It has the updated toro wheel horse decals, however it is missing the plastic foot and leg pads on the foot boards which a 1996 or 1997 would have.

Yep, and any of those years are going to be the same anyway. For that year, you need the 1st 2 numbers of the serial number to tell you the year, if that is readable you'll be set.

Going by the decals, I'm going to say 94 I have a 93 and a 95 your decals are some of both.

My 92 looks exactly like that

Nice score.

Needs a little TLC but for $700.00 can't beat it with a good low hour Onan paired with the hydro

I think it could be any where from a 1990 - 1995, due to the steering wheel, decals, foot pads, Ect... I believe the sweep axles started in 1990.

I also had a 1992 model identical to this one.

I think you got a good deal. That tractor should clean-up nicely. Hub caps too!

Nice.

Good luck,
Bill

1990- 1993 had the toro in silver on a black decal background 1994-199? had the red box toro on a black decal background. unless the decals have been changed i would say its a post 1993. check out pictures in galery.

Nice find Yep that's a great deal :thumbs2:and a nice tractor

You could look up the serial number on the engine which will give you the year of the engine.

I believe that hood decal was first used in 1994.
I believe the belt cover for 1995 and 1996 had an extra hole to attach a plastic PTO cover.
If the hole is missing on the belt cover by the PTO, I would say it is 1994.
Does the winner get a prize?

With only 322 hours for $700 you got an amazing deal.

[JFS]

I got some numbers off the engine decal. Not sure which will tell when it was made.
Engine # P220GI / 10955G
P/N 941811
D953363197
Serial # SN5782U1G2RA / 782CC
Thanks again for all the input Jim

The letter is the month and the next two digits are the year.
The date of the engine is D=April, and 95 is the year 1995. See attached.

Keep the tractor hidden.
A 1995 520H with 322 hours for $700 would be considered stolen property, at least by this board.
