My new (95) 520H

I just came across a 95 520H with only 300 hours, rust and dent free so i'm excited. When i got her home the situation was that it would start and run fine however when the engine was shutoff the 30 amp fuse would blow. I pulled the 9 pin connector and found a burned rectifier connector so i bypassed that connection and started the engine. Now the 25 amp fuse would blow as soon as the key was in the start position. Last night i disconnected the headlight connector and the mower would start and run just fine but none of the instruments will work. I have a new 9 pin connector and fuse block coming and can't wait to continue seeking out the ghost. :scared-ghostface:

Clean all the elect. connections on the tractor, and use lots of Dialectic grease when putting any connector back together, and when installing the new parts, I just did 520 this winter with new parts, and it took care of all the issues.

Electrical gremlins seem to plague the 520H's The fuse box and the 9 pin connections seem to be the main problems. I really like both my 520H's. I am sure will be fond of yours as well. These are awesome machines for sure... Keep them clean and out of the weather if possible and they will last a long time.

Have a look at the belt guard modification that Jay in NC is doing. Well worth considering.

Good luck with your new tractor. :flags-canada:

      89 400 series 25A fuse blowing
      By WheelPuke
      I have my 25A fuse blowing every time I put a new one in the slot. The old one was burnt up when I got the tractor put this year. It sat for a year with a dead battery. I stopped using it as much because the transmission is clattering pretty bad when taking off on second or higher. I had to replace the clutch belt a few years ago and couldn't get an OEM. Not sure what is the problem there that's another issue though.
       
      I have checked the wiring and patched the worn spots where it could be grounding out. The fuse blows as soon as there is power to the system with the ignition off. I'm at a loss of what to check for at this point. Any input from someone who has had this issue would be appreciated. I'm not sure what these units are in the photos but do not know how to test them for a failure. They are directly in loop with the battery and the ignition loom looks to run into that 25A fuse.

      What am I doing wrong? ‘68 Charger 12
      By BrianKoch
      Hello gentleman, 
       
      Problem: will not crank on its own, will crank with jump box—but still not fire
       
      Recent things I did prior to this issue: cleaned fuel filter, replaced battery cables, replaced cable from ignition to starter
       
      I have my test light out and am probing around. 
       
      There is no power at ignition/magneto wire or the ignition/starter wire
       
      There is power everywhere else

      Electric PTO
      By trident
      Need some help. My 800 Special has an electric PTO. It is not working. Checked Ohms - nothing. My questions are 1) how does the PTO come off and 2) can they be rebuilt? I took the bolt out that I thought holds it on but no luck. Must be something more?
