520H Electric Fuel Pump

Recommended Posts

RainbowMeatballs

Following the death of my 520H's fuel pump, I bought a low-pressure electric pump. The problem is, I know almost nothing about electrical systems, and I am wondering where to hook up the pump. I am thinking that I could use the pink line coming from the A terminal, but I'm not absolutely sure. I was also wondering if I could attach it with ring hooks to one of the meters. (piggy-backing) I'm not sure of the amps this uses, but it seems to have 14 gauge wire. To be safe, would adding a 20 amp fuse screw up the meters if I switched it in the place the 10 amp? This is the pump: Amazon 
I have an inline fuse holder if my ideas have been completely wrong.

You want the pump to run with the ignition switch in the RUN and START positions. You can see in the switch description the only 2 terminals common in each position are the R and I. The R is not used in this application so that is one place you could add a fused supply for the fuel pump. The special female terminal with a tang that will lock into the plastic ignition switch wire holder is available from automotive jobbers.

Check out these threads I did on installing one in a C-160. I would run it's own circuit and fuse it. The pump will draw around 5 amps.

Didn't think of that. I've got to get some wire anyway, so i'll go pick up that terminal. Thanks!

Not really replying to this. But I have a related question. I just purchased a facet fuel pump for my 520H. Instructions say to mount it at bottom of fuel tank because it's gravity fed. Anyone ever installed one on a 520? There's nothing at that level to mount it without making some kind of bracket to mount it on? Apparently these pumps are designed to push not pull? Read somewhere if mounted above tank. That pump will fail quickly? Any how to photos would be great

:WRS:         Nothing fancy, but worked well for me.

      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.
