Congratulations, that’s quite the gift. I’m glad someone that’ll appreciate it got it rather than a scrapper for sure!!!

Keep the Onan toward the rich side at WOT and the cowlings free of debris so the cylinders stay cool with regular oil changes and you can double those hours!!!

Yes. I am truly looking forward to using this machine. It is one I have been wanting for sometime. Hopefully by next week I will be mowing the lawn with it once I get the parts to fix it up and maybe clean it up a bit. I also might put my hitch that is on my Raider over to this one.

 

I got to figure out where I am going to store my Raider 12 now since I am pretty much out of shed space, and what I am going to use it for. The Raider is more sentimental to me more than any of the others though since I grew up on it with my grandfather towing me around on it. I have a snowblower that isn't on anything but I am thinking I might put a blade on it instead since it is an 8 speed but I would have to locate a blade first.

WHX??

By the looks of those clippings best you pull it apart abit Donuts and check/clean engine/hydro fins & do the usual  new to us tractor things. I recently got a four letter 520 that was filthy but cleaned up nice. Tach a mat is right ...a 91 with hours and immaculate seat?!?!?

Here is my last ugly duckling... wanna swap seats?!?!? How bout them fronts!??!? :lol: Hey ...it was FREE!

That's exactly what I was planned on doing. He mowed with the grass wet last time unfortunately. It looked well taken care of and he said he used to take the deck off quite frequently I guess and used his compressor to clean off the tractor and fins. He (more specifically his wife) used to mow about 3 1/2 acres with it. I looked at his other tractors while I was there and if I noticed a trend is they all were well taken care of, and tended to have lots of grease everywhere. His 60 year old MF 40hp farm tractor looked nearly brand new and everything was garage kept.

 

I do wonder if it worth putting the foot control on it or not. My Troy bilt has the foot hydro pedal and I love that.

Run it awhile and see how you like the under the wheel control. A couple of mine were real jerky with the stock lever. Foot control cured that.  If she cleans up and pans out to be a keeper always a good mod. See what else you might use it for other than mowing.  Very handy for snow blowing or plowing, well mowing too.

      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.
