Still new to this formatt & posting photo's

This should be a pic of the 520H I brought home last weekend.

Stephen in northern IN....raining & getting no seat time here

Very nice tractor, got to love the chrome hub caps! Do you like the way this Onan runs? I think that it is raining everywhere, but fun can be had in the rain too, just ask Sparky, does he ever have a pond to run that 520 in.... :D

[Sparky-(Admin) 19,558]

Now thats a clean machine fer sure! Is it a low hour tractor?

Now Karl I wouldnt let that nice tractor anywhere near the pond. But heres what I'll do. I will let Stephen leave his 520 with me and give him a map to the pond and one of my trusty steeds to get him there. I thinks thats fair. The pond trip is about 30 minutes round trip as long as ya dont sink which should give me just enuff time to get all 4 hubcaps and the armrests off .

Mike...with hubcap and armrest jelousy

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Yes the 1st owner tok very good care of it & even gave me the maintaince logs.

It's just about ready to turn 1000 hours ...so not low hours...but I do hope it has a lot of life in her yet....she runs great.

Now if I had a pond to cross I would bring my trusty steed & leave the Horses in the corrale

Ya know, I just noticed, the 520 is a strong machine and all, but I see you're trying to pull down that tree with it. I don't think that the 520 is gonna be able to tackle that job!

[Bill 4]

Hmm I just noticed that nylyon.. I think your going to need a bigger tractor!!! :D

The 520H sat about a block behind me that weekend.

Seen it Saturday & the seller did not come to town till Monday.

I guess he didn't want me takeing it to soon?

I got the normal socks (which were needed), T-shirt and slipper..

Also a Bosch angle grinder.. Nice to have a good one after a long line of cheap rubbish ones..

 

But best of all my Wife bought me a new wedding ring to replace the one I lost while gardening..

I had already ordered up a new jib for my little sailboat. That one arrived a few days before Christmas.

Then an old sailing rig from an Old Town canoe popped up on CL for $20. We took a ride on Christmas eve day and picked that up. That will end up on another boat.

I usually give myself my Christmas presents. 

Oh - and I put a cheap stack on my 310-8 , and got a rain cap for it from TS.

Now you "Won't Have Time" for anything       Ask any retired person for help with anything it's always "I don't know when I'll have the time!"

[squonk 38,939]

I got a 12v car vac that looks like a mini shop vac, one of those speaker bar thingy's for the TV with bluetooth for my i-pad or phone to play music through some shirts a TORA TORA TORA DVD and my favorite new desktop companion Sam the Monkey!
