kick 59 #1 Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Pretty good shape with 521 on the clock. Also came with a nice later model 48” deck. The only real issue is where the seat mount bolts under the shift lever plate. Easy fix with some 11/2” angle. Decent deal for $550 in my part of the world.

c-series don 7,772 #3 Posted August 14, 2018 Yes unfortunately that is a common problem with those models. It happened to my Work Horse when I put too much weight in a rear mount Cyclone spreader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That 310-8 has the 8 inch wheels, right? Do you have any power issues with the blower on a 10 HP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnmor 6,762 #6 Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) The later model 520H tractors have a cross piece that is wider and catches the next bolt forward as well. With that wider piece and a stepped console cover the problem seems to be fixed. I don't know if those parts will fit your machine, but it is worth exploring. See the "520H for sale" thread for photos. Edited August 17, 2018 by lynnmor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richmondred01 2,202 #7 Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Great deal. The m16 engine I believe is the best engine wheel horse ever used. When you do the repair make sure you measure with the side sheet metal in mind. Ask me how I know. Edited August 17, 2018 by richmondred01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,619 #8 Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) When I looked closer at the picture of my 416 I can understand the confusion over tire and engine size.The original hood was junk so I put a 310 hood on it.As far as a blower on a 10 horse, I don't know.I do know that at times the 16 horse Onan sounds loaded when the snow is deep.

richmondred01 2,202 #9 Posted August 17, 2018 A quick down and dirty to be sure it’s a 16 and that the blower housing wasn’t replaced, is 16 hp have 10 head bolts rather then 9. ive seen several people would claim it’s a 16 based on the blower housing. Of course the other way is the embossed engine code on the block, however they are hard to see if the pto is on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick 59 #10 Posted August 26, 2018 Did some work on the horse over the weekend. Fabricated my angle brackets for the fender mount and I also painted all associated parts while I was at it. I figure I will paint up parts as I address things. None of my horses are show pieces but they aren’t rust buckets either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
