520H hour meter doesn't work

Recommended Posts

608KEB

I have a 1994 520H. The hour meter works if I take a ground wire from another ground source. I looked through the 520H wiring diagram and found that the hour meter ground runs into the oil pressure switch. I have taken the 9 pin connector apart. It's in good shape. I cleaned it and used electric contact grease. When I turn the key to on, I noticed that the oil pressure warning light does not come on. I'm guessing that the ground running to the oil pressure switch is at fault. Is this correct or are there other possibilities?

First, check your fuses. If it is the same setup as my 416-H, the oil pressure switch has two circuits. One is closed when the engine is off and until the oil pressure reaches 5 psi. That causes the oil light on the dash to flash when the key is turned on, and until the engine is started and oil pressure builds up. When it reaches 5 lbs, it opens turning off the light. At the same time, when the oil pressure reaches 5 lbs, the other circuit closes. This connects the ground side of the hour meter.

If the oil light does not come on with the key on and engine not running, I would suspect that the switch has gone bad.

When the key is turned on the oil warning light does not light up. Do I remove the shroud to get at the switch?

Did you ever figure this out? No ground at the hour meter. But the light blinks when the key is on/ engine off. Trying to fix the faulty ground at the hour meter without disturbing the original wiring

No, I never did figure it out. I put a new oil pressure switch in. I didn't know how to test the switch. To see if it opened and closed properly. It's supposed to open between 2 and 5 lbs of oil pressure. The hour meter does work as it should now. So it wasn't grounded. But when I turn the key to on, the oil pressure switch light does not flash.

      Now that we are finding more uses for the 1990 520H with a KwikWay loader I am experiencing some power loss in the hydro after about a half hour to 45 minutes??????
      Ideas?

      Selling my trusty WH520H.  ~880 hours (currently used for moving snow when needed so hours may rise) very solid machine, strong and hardworking.  20HP Onan, hydro transmission and hydraulic lift.  Has Matt's foot-pedal conversion for forward/reverse.  Included in the sale is a tall-chute snow blower and 60" mowing deck.  The blower is in excellent condition and is on the tractor currently.  The mowing deck has been a workhorse over the years.  No holes but could use some TLC, probably needs new spindles at some point and could use a couple spots touched up with welder also does NOT have any pulley covers/protectors (see photo).  Tractor has been an incredible tool, very solid and dependable and I'm certainly going to miss her when she's gone.   
       
      Recent maintenance: replaced the plugs this summer, fluids as needed (hydro has about 100 hours on fluid/filter; oil was done in the spring and has about 25 hours on it).  Battery is about 3 years old as are the tires, Terra Trac tires on the rear and turfs on the front.  The seat (with arm rests) isn't in great shape.  I've got a cover for the seat, never used.  It's never really bothered me but new seat cover is included in sale as are 4 hub caps, chains for the rear tires, and some misc spare parts (see photos).  
       
      I've owed this machine about 8 year and put ~350 hours on her.  She's not a show piece but could be restored.  Sheet metal is generally in shape, no rust however the hood does have a couple dings in it.  
       
      I'm only selling because I'm trying to help my son get a small lawn care business started and looking to move to a zero-turn.  The 60" deck is too large for our trailer, the mowing deck lacks pulley safety shields, and we'd like something that mows faster.  My only complaint with this machine is the top-speed (which isn't great when comparing to today's machines) otherwise she's a beast.  They don't make them like this anymore.
