Had the opportunity today to buy out another closed Wheel Horse dealership about 45 minutes away. Lots of good stuff, good mix of discontinued parts, lots of Kohler. Long day but should be worth it. Enjoy the photos boys.

Of course nice haul Looks like a huge job ahead to sort thru all that!

Made the 4 hour trip back to my birthplace to attend a family reunion. Back in one of the hollers surrounded by the Appalachian Mts.

Find the model number for the deck, if that isn’t possible then take your best guess as to the year. You can look up parts on the Toro website and then do a search for the best deal. Most of the 48” were about the same.

The 9-pin connector and the fuse block has been attacked by the usual klutz. I doubt that you need an entire wiring harness, just clean up the mess caused by the klutz. I doubt that you can find a harness anywhere. The solenoid is part of the starter. Download the Demystification Guide, and the Onan engine manual. As you go along, ask questions here.

Yer losing it Don't happen to have a '59 pan looking for a new home???

Damn man, I thought there was a lot of crack in Durham, NC

Well you may not be an electrical expert now....and maybe a 520 is not the best place to start ...but you will I guess become an electrical expert.

Time for an update. Getting to the point of installing the painted parts as the humidity is not the best for outdoor priming and painting.

Just did I did not know so far - Thank you!

I really wish you guys would stop putting down other brands, they will all break down eventually. The truth is, that slogan started with Deere's snowmobile line in the early 1970s. And it stuck. And the truth is that Deere makes probably the best line of lawn and garden tractors today with their X series line, made in Horicon, Wisconsin. Their 7 gauge deck, known as the 7 Iron, is the only 7 gauge deck that is stamped from a single piece of steel. The other manufacturers have to fabricated their commercial decks, using 7 gauge for the sides and 10 gauge for the top section and welding them together to make a deck. Only Deere has a press large enough to stamp 7 gauge metal. Rounded corners means less material buildup to corrode and rust a deck. It's also sad, though, that Deere choses to penalize their ag buyers with their policy for repairs. I know the auto industry wants to do this as well. Sad.
