Just picked up a 1992 520-H to take advantage of the hydraulic lift when using my two-stage snow thrower. My son's helping me work out a few mechanical issues; in meantime, I'm puzzled about putting chains on the rear tires. I've always used Wheel Horse 50 lb. weights and chains on my 312-8 with no problem. But as you can see on the attached photo (hope it attaches) there is only about 1/4" clearance between the inside of my rear tires and the gas tank supports. No way chains will clear that. The wheels as currently mounted appear to be flush with the end of the axle. (Hope I've got my terminology right.) Is this normal? Do you think there might be some spacers missing that would hold the wheels out further? Also, while you're being helpful, anyone know if the wheel weights I used on my 312-8 (with smaller wheels) will fit the wheels on my 520-H? What about the bolts; will they be long enough? (Tires on 520-H are 23 x 10.5 x 12. Tires on 312-8 are 22 x 9 x 12). Son is suggesting I put the smaller wheels and tires from the 312-8 on the 520-H, and put the larger wheels and tires from the 520-H on the 312. That way, don't have to worry about buying new chains, and perhaps buying new weights. I will be using the 312 for mowing, the 520-H for snowblowing. Thanks.
