For your snow cab, VHT, and Dupli-Color both...

have a red vinyl dye available. 

Both brands offer really great products.   :handgestures-thumbsup:

I bought the Napa 1410 hydro filter. I still have quite a few small details to finish on the 520H. I can't wait to try it out with snowthrower and cab! I use my B100 with a snowthrower and no cab. I like using it but I've gotten a lot of snow in my face. Goggles help!

I sanded and painted the snow cab frame. I also was going to try this liquid vinyl on the seat. I also got the snow thrower, chains and wheel weights on today.

I used the Liquid Vinyl Repair on one of the armrest that was ripped. When it's done setting. I'm going to try a  Vinyl repair kit to finish it. I finished installing the cab yesterday. I want to move the strobe light forward about 1 1/2 feet. Thanks for the comments. It's motivating!!

The armrest turned out decent. It's nice to use products that work.

I tested the compression on the cylinders today. The front was 110 psi. The back was 125 psi. That's good isn't it?

I took the top off the carburetor and cleaned everything. It was surging at lower r.p.m.'s I also put a new fuel filter and gas lines on the 520H too. It runs great now.

I have a question about Matt's Hydro Pedal. The tractor moves backward when the pedal is at neutral. How do I correct this? make the linkage longer or shorter?

Instructions on page 13 of the Eaton 1100 hydro manual (sitting on my workbench right now!)

Jack up the rear end so the tires are off the ground.  Make sure hydro is at operating temperature.

Run transmission forward, release the foot pedal and depress brake to bring to neutral.

If the wheels still creep:

Under the seat is a triangular plate.

Loosen the lock nut on the eccentric.  Turn the ecentric until the wheels come to a halt.

Turn the eccentric the other direction until the wheels start to rotate the other direction.

Set the eccentric to middle of these two positions and tighten the lock nut.

You will love that foot pedal!

You know, I bought that pedal months back and never installed it yet. Since adjusting the control linkage I havent minded the lever control at all.

I put the decals on this morning. hats off to Terry at Redo your Horse. They look great! I was wondering where the battery warning decal goes on the hood?

I just now found this thread. What an awesome job on your 520. Glad you are happy with the decals. 

Did you find them user friendly?

The decals went on easy. I use windex and a soft plastic spreader to apply them. I go over the top of decal with a soft cloth. I haven't had a air bubble yet! Cheesegrader, I'll have to print the manual for the eaton transmission. Yeah it seems like I have more speed in reverse than there should be. It creeps backwards when setting still. I set the hydro tranny's on the sunstrands before. Sounds like it's the same. :wh:  :handgestures-thumbupright:  :banana-tux:

Thanks Cheesegrader. That was easy. I didn't realize that's what the nut was for on the slide plate. The pedal works much better now. :techie-eureka:

I was investigating why the tach didn't work and why it quit charging twice this winter. I couldn't believe everything else worked. I'm going to put these in.

Cheese grader that's what happened to mine. The nipple broke off. It's made by World Magnetics, Traverse City MI. I found one on their website. I'm going to call on Monday and see how much they are. I also picked up new bushings for the steering. I'm going to try to find some shim stock to put in the smaller block of the steering assembly. I won't make it go completely around it. The steering overall is tight with the exception of the small block. Or else the grease won't go where it's has to. I'll post some pics when I get to that point

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.

      I am new to this group. I have my sons collection of Wheel Horse tractors that are definitely rare models. He still has one to pick up that’s dual wheel and was purchased from Peabody Coal Co. This is the perfect site to get involved with. The best advice comes from folks that are hands on.. had to be their own machine shop. Nothing compares to the knowledge in this group.! But my first topic is this 19hp Craftsman INDY 500 limited edition model. I was reading a topic on here about the 18hp and 20hp models, but cannot find a single replica of this tractor on ANY site or e-bay. We live near central Ohio, so I’m assuming it’s a regional release.The Briggs engine lobes like a medium cam in a V8. We thought it was an intermittent miss, but it’s not missing a bit. The engine is the strongest riding tractor I’ve ever operated. It will literally cook the deck belt in high grass before dragging the engine down. Very wide and lower to the ground. I never got the size, but the rearend is all tires.! Looks like a dragster from behind.. almost  gives the appearance of shortened axle tubes in a hot rod. Just wondering if anybodys ever seen this particular model. My next top is will be about the C160 total hydraulic Wheel Horse he just acquired. Claim they were specially made for snow removal.
