Joe's outdoor power on eBay has them from time to time.  

Anyone parting out the ONAN from a 520H (on eBay) might have one to sell.

Thanks Jack - I was messing with  the original to test my "sounder" alarm and broke it like a dummy. Always fidgeting with stuff - lol.

OK - I found the part number for the cylinder high temperature switch and went to the local dealer who used to sell Wheel Horse. The parts salesman hands me the wrong switch, and I informed him he was wrong. Apparently he had never sold this item and he didn't believe me. It got interesting after that - I told him I found it on page 39 in the Toro Parts Manual for my model year. Then I got the speech: "We sold hundreds of these (520H) tractors and I have worked here for 30 years and I have never heard of what you're talking about. I said "It's in the Parts Manual - I didn't make it up to give you a hard time". After looking at his cd rom and going back to the page I told him, he said "Oh - I thought that was a bolt". I said "sure". I couldn't even get a "sorry" or "I was wrong" out of this jackhole. O well. I got the switch - after 45 minutes. He should sell off some of his ego and go to the dentist.
