truckin88 104 #1 Posted July 13, 2012 Snuck this one over the CT state line, with my old man, it is his. 223 hours only. This one is not being flipped we paid a premium to get a very nice machine. He has been looking for a nice 520 for a few years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,116 #5 Posted July 13, 2012 Very nice Will. I love my 88 520, she just cracked 200 hrs. yesterday. Who's 1970 Chevelle is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodge71 662 #6 Posted July 13, 2012 Will, With that low hours I would seriously consider getting ahold of Jay in NC and get on of his louvered drive belt covers. No sense hurting such a pristine Onan if you can spend $50 for a mod that will help that engine last. Thats a seriously nice machine!!! :text-woo: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingwood990 16 #7 Posted July 13, 2012 I have seen Jay's handy work in person and they are a high quality piece. They also look killer too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,034 #8 Posted July 14, 2012 Will- While you were sneaking into CT to pick this one up I was in your backyard picking one up in Wallkill..... See my post soon. (At least I sent you a text to let you know I was there lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hydro 130 #11 Posted July 14, 2012 Were I ever to have another Onan it would definately have the belt guard mod. :eusa-clap: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #12 Posted July 14, 2012 my beltguard mod, courtesy of Jay in NC, is the "heat" on Slickapedia Wheel Horse page. there is picture of a 88/89 520-H (incorrectly labeled 1986) where the cut the belt guard in half or perhaps off a different model?

Wheel Horse Kid 104 #15 Posted July 14, 2012 Great looking 520H! That is awesome that it has such low hours. I bet your dad feels it was worth the wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NitroJunkie 1 #16 Posted July 25, 2012 Very Nice Tractor! I can't really tell by picture 2 but it looks like the mower drive belt is going to the wrong groove on the PTO. It should go on the inside groove. I would hate to see something happen to it. May not matter Just Saying! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keg 0 #17 Posted July 30, 2012 do you guys have any pics or prices of the louverd belt guards and do they help cool the engine or???? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raider12 13 #18 Posted August 2, 2012 This is a very nice keeper. I scored my 1997 520 last fall with 128 hrs and it's a peach. Super nice machine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
