JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #6 Posted October 25, 2014 History: 1995.....Original owner. Came with a plow blade. 50lb. Weights. Set of tire chains. It seems fairly well maintained. But. The dirt from 1995 I think is still on it. Glenn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,902 #14 Posted October 25, 2014 I would have left it on the trailer. you could tow it around, take different background pics, have everyone drooling and you could pretend to be Geno! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #15 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I will comment on the Onan...WOW! Now that I put about a hour on it. What a sweet sounding engine. Purrs like a cat. No vibration. You can hear the power. I know the torque will be there. A whole differant beast. With a whole diferant sound.

JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #17 Posted October 25, 2014 Speaking of Gene.....He better watch out. I am so hot on his trail.....I just need another 43 tractors and I will sail right by him. Lol.......I tried to load a little video of that sweet purring engine. Couldn't do it. That's the story for now. Nice day..outside for wheel horse tinkering. Hope you enjoyed this. Seems there is something to these 520s. Glenn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theroundhousernr 589 #20 Posted October 25, 2014 Glenn. This post brought a smile to my face! I know you have been looking for a 520H for awhile now. And boy did you hold out for the right one! Sweet looking machine. This will quickly become your favorite. Keep up the PM on it and it will last thousands of hours more! By the way, if you decide you dont like it. Drive over to PA and drop it off at my house. I will take it off your hands Kyle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #21 Posted October 25, 2014 Nice looking tractor, Glenn. The engine is easier than the 522xi to get the tins off. Put Matt's pedal on it, and Tom's 2" receiver so it can do anything. It needs the cup holder seeing as you already have the armrests. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
