Jeremy Watson 22 #1 Posted April 16, 2011 Hello RS, I picked up my first yesterday! Its a 93 520H with 430hrs. I traded 6hrs of electrical work for it. It has a couple of issues to work on...the steering seems loose (turned a lot on ashault), and it seems slow at top speed. Does anyone know how fast it should go? The tins are in great shape, no dings or rust. Its just dirty, i dont think its been washed in years. I picked up a blade for it over the winter, and have made an offer on a blower and cab. Hope that guy call and says ok. I have enjoyed RS since joining in Dec. I look forward everyday to reading the post and looking at all the pic. I also have learned a lot and looking forward to learning even more. Thanks http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j474/j...0416_074555.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,028 #17 Posted April 17, 2011 For a worker I'm very pleased with my 520's thirsty yes, power yes, love my newer one with the controls on the dash tower, and the steering reduction, they have their issues, but all in all easy to drive and operate machines. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
