520H electrical upgrades and other projects

You might have luck finding the solid metal weights in the Troy-Bilt OEM Weight Kit. I bought two of these on clearance at Lowes a few weeks ago. They were just a bit more than what the weights by themselves cost me last year. Plus I have two nice brackets to re-utilize for something else.

Thanks John. I'll see if I can find some of those but they seem to be NLA from a quick search. The weights in that kit look like the Arnold weights and I wouldn't be surprised if they were, which might explain the NLA since they are moving to polymer cased weights. It also looks like I'll have to get them close to me as shipping is very expensive, which is why I went with the place I did for their free shipping.

These are the all metal weights like you have pictured. The box does have a disclaimer about contents not being as pictured though. Mine were. On my last visit a week ago, they were clearing out the polymer-covered Arnold weights as well for $39.00.

Can you shoot me a PM with the sku number for that clearanced weight kit? I would like to check all of the lowes in my area. I don't see them online anywhere.

Found these at Sears http://www.sears.com/arnold-corp-wheel-weight/p-SPM2697578602?prdNo=45&blockNo=95&blockType=G95 The problem is that the Lowes kits (both plastic and steel) only come with one weight and the ones I ordered were $60 each shipped. Gotta keep on looking.

Just back from the holidays which means I'm still getting over a simultaneous sinus infection/strep throat from my two little niece's. Doesn't bother me though since they are the cutest little munchkins ever. Just managed to install the hitch on the 520H and then the 2 stage snowblower on my brothers tractor between the high temp fever and 18 hours a day sleeping trying to get over it. I'm pretty much outta file space at this point so this is all I can upload. I did do some spot painting/sanding/buffing on the hood which came out good but I'm going to be painting the hood and seat pan on both the 520H and 520xi come spring just to start from a nice clean slate again.

Thanks, but right now I'm going to be moving to a new place where I'll need my own tractor so I'm going to be saving for that. Now I don't need something big, diesel, and 4wd but I want one!
