520 and Generator

Recommended Posts

I have a wheel horse generator that I have used on my B-80. It works it to death so I though we have new toys this year with real hp so lets use them. Tried to install this gen on a 96' 520 with no luck.  It fits in the quick tach but sets on the ground. It also seems like the tractor axle / tie rods are just plain in the way.  On the B-80 it fits perfectly and plenty far off the ground. What am I doing wrong?

probably the 520's swept axle and steering reduction setup is in the way compared to the B-80?!?   any pictures?    bet other folks will ring in!

Hope you guys are all safe when all is said and done.

I would think that even if you did get that generator on your 520, that Onan will drink your gasoline supplies down in a very VERY short amount of time.

I hope you didn't need to use it on the B80 or 520 but the B80 will run it much more economically.
