Greetings fellow tractor enthusiasts,
I thought I'd chime in and introduce myself. I finally talked my dear Father out of his WH 520H (and 44" Snowblower, and 42" mower). 
This fine machine has a whopping 180hrs on it.
I blew snow all Winter in style, with the only problem being the safety switch under the seat not wanting to depress in cold weather.
This week I've been detaching the blower and attempting to resurrect the mower deck. It's been outside for yrs and not used in a very long time.
I seem to be missing the front belt pulley and faceplate to complete the connection (I have him looking for it).
I look forward to learning and sharing info here on Red Square. Thx

Is 4beers by chance a reference to an old Van Halen story?

Wow. Thx for the welcome(s) !
I'm in Margaretville, NY.
In the habit of always saying "Upstate", so not to be confused w/ the rat race of NYC.
Didn't realize there were so many members from up here.

I'm still grounded and without front pulley (Mule?) for mower deck while Pop looks for it at his (numerous) garages for it. Thanks for the offer Duane. I may have to take you up on it. I'm gonna need a sickle bar attachment soon if I don't get mowing. :eek:

Hi, 4beers, I am new here too, and new to WH tractors, but I fear I'm hooked already! I used to spend weekends at a friend's cabin close to Margaretville years ago.

Welcome. You actually have a 48" deck and I see the front sway bracket for the snow blower which is a good thing.

      Now that we are finding more uses for the 1990 520H with a KwikWay loader I am experiencing some power loss in the hydro after about a half hour to 45 minutes??????
      Ideas?

      Selling my trusty WH520H.  ~880 hours (currently used for moving snow when needed so hours may rise) very solid machine, strong and hardworking.  20HP Onan, hydro transmission and hydraulic lift.  Has Matt's foot-pedal conversion for forward/reverse.  Included in the sale is a tall-chute snow blower and 60" mowing deck.  The blower is in excellent condition and is on the tractor currently.  The mowing deck has been a workhorse over the years.  No holes but could use some TLC, probably needs new spindles at some point and could use a couple spots touched up with welder also does NOT have any pulley covers/protectors (see photo).  Tractor has been an incredible tool, very solid and dependable and I'm certainly going to miss her when she's gone.   
       
      Recent maintenance: replaced the plugs this summer, fluids as needed (hydro has about 100 hours on fluid/filter; oil was done in the spring and has about 25 hours on it).  Battery is about 3 years old as are the tires, Terra Trac tires on the rear and turfs on the front.  The seat (with arm rests) isn't in great shape.  I've got a cover for the seat, never used.  It's never really bothered me but new seat cover is included in sale as are 4 hub caps, chains for the rear tires, and some misc spare parts (see photos).  
       
      I've owed this machine about 8 year and put ~350 hours on her.  She's not a show piece but could be restored.  Sheet metal is generally in shape, no rust however the hood does have a couple dings in it.  
       
      I'm only selling because I'm trying to help my son get a small lawn care business started and looking to move to a zero-turn.  The 60" deck is too large for our trailer, the mowing deck lacks pulley safety shields, and we'd like something that mows faster.  My only complaint with this machine is the top-speed (which isn't great when comparing to today's machines) otherwise she's a beast.  They don't make them like this anymore.
