what's it worth 1994 520H

[608KEB 796]

I've found a 1994 520H for sale. It has a snow cab. The back window is broke. It's missing a bracket by the left side of the seat. But the cab is in good shape. Its not faded. It comes with a plow and a 2 stage Wheel Horse snow thrower. The tires are all weather cracked. It has 50 lb wheel weights and chains. It looks like its been outside most it's life. The paint is really rough. Its rusting from underneath. No rust holes in it anywhere. It only has 311 hours on it. All the gauges work including the hour meter. 1 owner tractor. There was no smoke or funny noises from the engine. The transmission works good. The lights all work. The lift works good. It was used only for clearing snow. I wish I would have taken some pictures. So what do you think its worth? I would have to completely take it apart. If I wanted it looking nice. It did start right up too. The engine was surging. But that's not a big deal.

Good running 520 but ugly, $400, 2 stage blower usable may need TLC, $400, cab needs part, $150, weights if plastic $75 if cast iron $150+

That set up here in CT could easily fetch $1500 or more but location matters and overall condition. What is has going for it is the 2 stage blower and cab along with the very low hours.

[608KEB 796]

I offered $500.00 he wants $750.00. It was through his brother. So I have to wait to hear from him.

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,529]

It would have been long gone for $750 here. Good luck with the deal !!

Nicely priced pkg.    

[can whlvr 994]

750 would be a steal here too,its only got 300 hours

[Theroundhousernr 590]

Very decent price at 750. I would drop that in no time.   Bring it home!

I think it's a fair price at 750. If it sat outside for most of it's life, it is going to need a lot of attention. Fuse blocks, terminal connectors and ends. Wire harness connectors. The tires are weather checked, paint gone with surface rust. Seat is most likely shot. The cab needs attention and I would bet if it sat outside all the time, that cab is probably brittle and may not have much more useful life left. (UV Damage) The 2 stage blower makes the price right especially if it doesn't need rebuilt. Even with the low hours, it will have some goblins to coral and tame unless it is the one and only Wheelhorse 520 that isn't effected by moisture. 750 too 850 is a fair price if it is how it was described.

$750 for a working 520 w cab and blower. Not bad.

O.k I'll see it I can pick it up tomorrow. It also has a 48" plow in o.k.shape. Everything looked straight. It just looked like it sat outside...What a shame. I was just thinking what the tractor and accessories cost new.

[608KEB 796]

Just bought it for $500.00. I'll post pictures soon

Even if you need to put a decent amount of work in to make it look pretty, that's a very good deal for just a running 520H not to mention with all the attachments!

94 or 95?

94 or 95?

[Brrly1 1,146]

Lucky man!!!

[Theroundhousernr 590]

Strictly judging by the decals and emblems I would say 94. However 94 and 95 could be the same in that department. They match my 94 416h. I guess the sticker on the fender under the seat on the left is faded or gone?

[608KEB 796]

I can't read it.

[Theroundhousernr 590]

Looks like a 95

[Forest Road 594]

59xxxxx serial number = 1995

49xxxxx would indicate 1994

You did well! I purchased a 96 w cab and single stage 110 hours for $500 a few years back. Traded it for a 314h. I typically regret it when I'm burying the 2 stage in a large snow bank.

If you're planning on using the blower it's probably time for some maintenance. The auger bushings are junk. A few members have replaced them with greasable bearings available at TSC. Rear impeller bearing needs grease and looking after. And the chain and tensioner wear quickly.

A few more pics. Got some electrical gremlin's. It needs a new ignition switch. All the dummy light are staying on. I replaced the 30 amp fuse. It worked but was partially melted. Took the cab and wheel weights off. The back tires are in better shape than I thought.

Just looks dirty.

I've seen a few of the 9 pin plugs replaced with bullet connectors and even straight splices.

I think you got a great deal,ya its gonna need some attention but that's the fun of it when you get a great deal,

[Theroundhousernr 590]

You will be amazed what a good washing will do. Then you will really be shocked if you buff it. Also try McGuire scratch remover 2.0. It's shines better than most polish. Couldn't believe what it does with a wool buff wheel!

  Hope you had a mask on when you stole that thing!

I'm excited about the find. I drove through Westby about 4-5 month ago and saw the 520 next to a repair shop. I didn't think much about it. 2 days ago I drove through again. I didn't stop. But on my way back I decided to check it out. The guy at the repair shop said it was his brothers. Said he wanted $750.00. I told him to relay the message that I would give him $500.00 the rest is history! I probably will sell the two stage snow thrower and cab.

You got a great deal.

I bet it wlll clean up nice.  

If you decide you don't want the 2-stage, let me know.

My brother is looking for one.

The raised hood emblem and 59xxxxx serial make it a '95
