520H vent mod

Thought the collective might enjoy my perforation project... I bought this tractor a couple months ago and turning it into a nice "user"... Won't be a perfect restoration, just a nice addition to my old Toyota 4x4.

That whole outfit looks great to me.

Looks good to me too!   That trailer is the perfect size to haul the tractor around!!👍😎

Looks good.  One minor detail,  the belt cover goes over top of the lip on the foot board.

You missed the PTO trunnion being upside down.

I wondered about that - the bolt hole didn't line up great so thought it must be as I assembled it.  I'll fix it when I repaint the belt cover.  Got all sorts of runs in the finish... sheesh.

It's a trailer used for a pressure washer.  Really too small, but I'd driven too far to opt out when I purchased it.  I've had to re-weld the fenders twice aa my tractors have gotten wider ;-).

Hi Lynmor - is the PTO trunnion the "U" shaped thing ?  I thought it was harder to remove than it should've been when I painted - so maybe the last owner had it wrong.

It's the thing right under the muffler, the hairpin clip goes on top.  Yes, most are installed wrong.

Be sure to keep your right shoe’s laces out of those large holes!

I keep a thin washer under the clip, as well.

That big Onan is blowing out, not sucking in.

Yep, I have one.

But the belt is flying past and the airflow can be affected by your foot being there flopping the laces around.  

Just sayin'

I took a long hard look on mine at removing that top brace that holds belt guard on top or at least trimming it up a bunch. That brace looks like it really holds the heat in...
