elliot ness 1,916 #1 Posted September 11, 2016 I mounted this loader on one of my 520H's, it's a Sears Smipson made in Canada. They are a very good loader. I will post more pics later on how I hooked it up. The rims are altered , made extra wide. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougC 2,641 #3 Posted September 11, 2016 With the loader, altered rear rims and weight on the rear of tractor are you concerned about rear axle bearing failure or rear axle shaft breakage? Looks great by the way!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks great by the way!!! No, I had one a few years ago that I built a wt. box for and had 600lbs in it and wide rims and I used it for a year and sold it. And my friend is still using it 6 or 7 years later and no problems. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougC 2,641 #6 Posted September 11, 2016 Glad to hear that! For some reason I have been worried about breaking a rear axle on my pair of 520H's lately. My father-in-law broke an axle on his '91 520H blading snow while using 23x10.50x12 turf tires and tire chains 10 years ago..... Guess it's just the luck of the draw for rear axle strength. I replaced a ton of GM camshafts under warranty in the late '70's due to soft cam manufacturing failures and to this day remember how they blamed 10 W 40 oil (Q State for the most part) for the premature wear on the cam lobes..... I always got stuck with the conversion vans.......probably because I was the shop foreman at the time and made the dealers son actually get dirty for his pay!!! It was my job to make a man outta him!!! So I was told..... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackC 616 #13 Posted November 29, 2016 Nice Sears tractor and loader. I have ARK and Quick Way loaders and that does not look like either one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 4,936 #14 Posted November 29, 2016 You can ship that loader back up to Canada where it will go on another nice 520. J.K. Looks good, I have a larger tractor and loader but one on a 520 would be handy for smaller spaces. Cleat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
