Macgyver 90 #1 Posted December 20, 2016 Need a little help with id of a 520. It's in a barn has forward swept front end. There are ball joints on the tie rods. The hydro & lift are on the steering column. Also has A 60" deck any guess? I know you want pics but dont know how to post them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,619 #2 Posted December 20, 2016 From your description it could be a 91-97.Serial number on the fender pan will narrow it down.If the controls are on the steering column it should not be an earlier HC.JAinVA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin4a416 2,186 #3 Posted December 21, 2016 If you can see serial on fender pan,. Just turn first 2 numbers around. 79-97. 69-96. 59-95 and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macgyver 90 #4 Posted December 22, 2016 Looks like I got lucky. Turns out it's a 91 so as I understand it has the gear reduction steering right? Also has a 60"deck that has been rebuilt and it runs good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,619 #5 Posted December 22, 2016 The 91 520h is supposed to have gear reduction steering and the swept forward front axle.This provides clearance for the 60" deck and makes steering easier.I have a 91 and its a tough but ugly beast that was never treated to any sort of cover.Its pictured in my avatar and trust me you are seeing its best side.JAinVA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
