That's sweet! Nice score and for the amount of hours! :handgestures-thumbupright:Does that "baja tough" have to do with the suburu baja?

I just ordered an original sales brochure for the 1991 520-H and it explains about the Baja series.

Not sure , but it was like that when I got it. I plan on painting the side panels later, or just replacing off of another one I have that's not flaking.

I had a customer inquire about this decal today. I had not heard of it or maybe I just do not remember. Was it only for 1991?  I found an image and tried to redraw it to cut.

It appears the originals were screened ink on clear?

What I need to find out is the width of the lettering? any help would be appreciated.

There was a post here awhile back about the Baja Tough tractors. It had pics of brochures or ads that told the story about driving the :wh: across the desert or something as an endurance test.

"When we had the opportunity to test one of our tractors in the hostile terrain of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, we just couldn't resist. Why the grass-baren desert of the Baja?  Because one of the most common causes of engine ,transmission, and axle failure in any tractor is the dirt, wear, and overheating due to long-term operation.  For 4 days, we drove a 520-H tractor through 500 miles of constant dust and unforgiving terrain of the Baja.  To say the least, the 520-H finished with flying colors---no breakdowns or leaks.  And that is why you can say a Toro Wheel Horse tractor is Baja tough!"

 

:rolleyes: From post #31 here...
