wheelie 2 #1 Posted August 7, 2012 i recently bought a 520 h , it has the forward swept front axle and runs great,. i found a 60 in. deck for it because i have over 6 acres of lawn to cut, and that 60 in. deck is no lightweight !!! but it cuts better than anything i ever owned !! the guy i bought the deck from had a bunch of 520 h parts he gave me for $20... including the deck lifting arm, he said these have a tendency to break with the 60 in. deck... two things i gotta fix on the 520 h the volt meter is usually at 11 volts, and when the lights are on, it drops like a rock, so i gotta look at the charging system, and the fuel gauge is not working, not a big deal , but why not have all the bells n whistles working ! i have a 416 with a 42 inch deck for where the 520 with the 60 in. can't go ,it wont charge either, is this common with these ? both have onan's..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
546cowboy 302 #2 Posted August 7, 2012 Check the connections at the regulator at the top rear of the engine cowl. You can get the manual from the Toro site which tells you how to check the charging system. :techie-eureka: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anickel 2 #6 Posted August 8, 2012 check the fuses for good contact with holders, also another problem area is the 9pin connector in the wiring harness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
