7 pointsOn my 520 the gas cap and hydro dipstick are underneath the seat. The seat doesn’t flop forward enough to stay up. Got tired of finding something to prop it with. I already have some rubber stops with 5/16s thread. After scrounging around a little I found a short piece of 5/16s all-thread, a matching rod end, and coupling nut. After drilling a hole I bolted on the assembly. Raise the seat and it falls into a vertical position, or push it to the back where it won’t move. Flip it forward when lowering the seat and it rests next to the seat bracket. Much better.

5 pointsHigh UV index and humidity Wed. and Thurs. Didn't want to get out from under the canopy. Got some sunburn in minutes. But did get a pic of 2 of my faves. Army Jeep built out of ? Had coil over shocks all around and I could see a chain and sprocket on the rear axle. Engine sounded tiny. Big honkin engine the club purchased last year from somewhere in Canada. Major ordeal getting it to it's new home. They leveled an area, planted it and built a building around it!

5 pointsI bet if @ebinmaine had cleaned up that carb with his patented scientific method it would run perfectly and get phenomenal gas mileage...

5 pointsNot sunrise or sunset but this lightning has been going on for about 45 minutes and still going, Pretty cool to watch and the video doesn't really capture the "big picture" The tree frogs are quite active too!

5 pointsThe loose hair made me nervous but applause for the effort! The ME lab at college had a small stand-mounted gas turbine for experiments on airflow and fuel management. We were super-closely supervised when running that sucker--and it was LOUD!

4 pointsHaven't done it yet but these might go on the 161 with the FEL to improve the strain on steering components. Crappy, dirty looking rims with wheelbarrow tires came on an off-brand cart I acquired somehow. Bushings and zerk fittings and when I stripped the junk tires and knocked the bushings out, they were really nice looking 4" x 8 rims with potential. Hit them with some degreaser and ordered some decent bearings and a pair of 4 ply Deestone tri-ribs.

4 pointsUp for sale is my 1990 520-8. Has the swept front axle and an 8 speed trans. Supposedly only 225 of this model were made? I bought it a few years ago with no engine or rear tires/wheels as a project. Not a fan of the Onan so I installed a good running Kohler Magnum 10. Got it all wired in so the the fuel gauge as well as the volt and hour meter work. Headlights work as well as the idiot light test switch. I replaced a couple seals in the transmission so it’s not a leaker. Includes a nice 42” side discharge deck (just mowed with it yesterday). Has front traction tires and factory turfs in the rear with the correct wide/deep wheels. I was running 10.5 ags but they touched the rear guide wheels on the 42” deck, the 10.5 turfs do not. Nothing wrong with it, I was just thinking I should maybe reduce the number of tractors here. Located in Andover Ct. Come take it for a spin!

4 pointsI got no worries with you I don't think you handle a grinder like some others we know! Deal ... but as @19richie66 would say ... put the grinder down and slowly step away.. Someone is gonna get this tractor for dang near the four letter word but gonna have to pass a interview ... and sign extensive documents drawn up in lawyer language. @Achto has got a lathe we'll make some some day. All back and operating as should and on the splash pad ... some belt stopping issues yet and jumps out of third gear occasionally but like that when I sold it. I'll get right on that. Still needs a new voltmeter. I put a digital one on as I found out Techies like to over charge a battery . I know not original but with one the charge can be controlled by running the bug eyes to keep the voltage below battery cook limits or removing a diode.

3 pointsHello Horse fans. It's a good day but bad problem.... Got a 520 H and can't be happier but, it's got issues (why it was cheap). Wiring hacked, constantly draining a new battery after a day. Gauges not working but the safety lights on the dash do illuminate. Can hear a relay click but that's all. Got all hub caps, snow thrower and new belts, pulleys, every book to tear it down including hydraulics. Bill of sale, warranty paperwork. Everything. Love the looks with the 60 inch deck. Is there a wiring harness available or is it something I get to make on my own? I was told for the last two years it's been started with a jump pack and glad it doesn't have electric PTO! Don't see a stater solenoid so jumping terminal won't work so there's that. Overall, I'm glad I grabbed it but wiring is not my stronghold. LoL. Any help is appreciated! Will get books out and throw up more pictures

3 pointsFYI, the belt should be on the larger PTO pulley for mowing.

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

2 pointsI’m waiting for controller batteries to charge, then Hambone is ready to try again. I was doing low elevation maneuvers like taking off and lost control before I had it. Whoops!

2 points@953 nut That’s it Richard! Thank you! I can’t think of a more appropriate song for this conversation. 👍🏻

2 pointsNo drinking gas and no magic smoke! What's not to like! I about lost it when she tightened the carb mounting with metric slip joint pliers then jumped the solenoid with a Left Handed Crescent wrench!

2 pointsTime to design an adaptor and have them 3-D printed, you could corner the market and get rich! Well, maybe cover expenses.

2 pointsKinda cool ... 701 solenoid.

2 pointsAm I skeptical, and tend to think inside the box. Hate to be a Debbie Downer BUT, If the intake runners were blocked off on six of the eight cylinders and their exhaust valves were jacked open and the two cylinders that were being fed were 180 degrees opposed then the two cylinder engine could easily start and run on an insufficient fuel / air supply.
-
2 pointsLook right to me. That's a big Vanguard, likely 21 or 23hp. The tins and double barrel intake manifold are just like my 23hp. I swapped the same flywheel screen for a recoil starter. Then I found out how hard it is to pull start a 23hp engine... The carb on mine cost more than the engine. Finding one that isn't for a vertical configuration is difficult. But they are still out there.

2 pointsThough they may be Simplicity here is why. The raised lip around the inside hole fits into a groove in the back of the next weight to keep them aligned when stacked. The only ones I have ever seen do that.

2 pointsThat’s funny, the previous owner of my 314-8 had the belt on the smaller pulley. Couldn’t understand why it didn’t cut so good. I figured it out eventually.

2 pointsI’m at Flite Fest with a buddy. This build took 15 hours, plus a few hours of tech support on site because of an aura board malfunction when they flashed it. I have probably 7 or 8 hours of painting into it and am almost ready to fly! This has been an awesome trip so far, and it goes until Sunday I believe.

2 pointsAxle just about done - well the hard bit both drive flanges, knuckles and drive shafts in. first offering - its the same track and pivot point as the suburban axle at 16" between centres. what it might look like

1 pointCitrus stripper, not regular stuff. Dip the rag and wipe off the spray paint. New decals doesn't look bad on a patina tractor and paint the rims too

1 pointLooks like your headed in the right direction. I did not post any pic's of your Big Dog from the Portage show. Figured I'd leave that to you.

1 pointI haven’t been out back, but the rains have kept the food plot growing well. Anything I can do to attract deer to pass by me, I’m working on! Yay for hunting season soon!

1 point@rustyedge1 bet ya dollars to donuts , its lubrication failure related , from that pto cone inner needle bearing , to every related belt / pulley set up , pulleys are probably rough , noisy , COMBINED INCREMENTAL LUBRICATION FAILURE , CREATES BELT BOUNCE / WHINE, STOPAGE , would also not be surprised if the pto lever start area is also hanging up , increasing initial function drag . what does it sound like ? buzzing , vibratition , you need more than belts , pete

1 pointIf you want to stick with the boxer twin I have one I could let go of. PM me if interested. There's also one in Bristol CT on Marketplace and NOS ones on ebay. Personally I like the Briggs opposed twins.
