ron thomas 5 #1 Posted February 20, 2014 I found a new in the box 520H anniversary model. What should I offer to pay? Are implements that fit (snow blade snow blower) hard to find because of the swept front axle? The fact that this tractor has been sitting so long going to have issues such as bad seals, fuel pump diaphragm failure rusty internal parts such as engine cyclinders and bad oil? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #2 Posted February 20, 2014 Welcome, and a NEW 520 should be worth $3000+ but I'm betting the asking price is closer to $5k and probably worth it, as for setting yes there could be some issues but I would change any fluids in it and grease it up and break it in. I love my 520's as I have said many times, if you get a chance post a few pics even if you don't buy it. Oh and being a anniversary model means it is a 1996 and only add value to a collector not someone that is going to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitten 133 #3 Posted February 20, 2014 I would not be afraid of it sitting, might have to tinker with it but shouldn't be anything bad. The price might be high but you are getting a new garden tractor that will last a lifetime with proper care. Good luck and welcome to Red Square. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leeave96 487 #4 Posted February 20, 2014 Any non-520H's with the one you found - like a crisp NOS 314-8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH nut 553 #5 Posted February 20, 2014 Im guessing you will pay well over 5k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #6 Posted February 20, 2014 Remember the old thread about whether to start up or not start up a NOS tractor? not starting it up and keeping it as a trailer queen for shows, but what a pain pushing the later hydros that don't have the tranny disengage. I push my rigs outside (bedroom above the garage) to start and boy with a thrower, wheel weights and rubber chains, I really love my 88 520-H with the disengage lever!

fireman 1,021 #23 Posted February 25, 2014 Unfortunately we've seen this type of post happen many times in the past! Reminds me of the post a few years back by some new guy who said he ran into a woman, who's dad or grand father was a dealer in the early 50's and had a Senior, Junior and some others brand new in the crates. He was supposed to go back to look at them in a few days after posting. We all posted for weeks looking for an update and never heard another word. Until I see it, I will never believe it! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodge71 662 #24 Posted February 25, 2014 So any update on this NOS horse I think somebody was having some fun at our expense. I hate to admit it but I sure was sucked in again. I couldn't wait to see an NOS in the crate 520….. UGH 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
