truckin88 104 #29 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Ken was that the one that was just on ebay, I almost bid on that. I figured it was a RS machine, if I had known it was yours I would have. Edited June 9, 2015 by truckin88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheesegrader 433 #33 Posted June 10, 2015 There is a very useful saying in my line of work."You can't polish a turd"But it looks like Stevebo can! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,527 #34 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) There is a very useful saying in my line of work."You can't polish a turd"But it looks like Stevebo can! Now that is funny right there. I say that all the time. People really do not look close that the frame of a "restored' repainted or whatever you want to call it. They will look much closer at the tins. They will look real nice with new decal. Heck I may even be able to trade Jason this machine for his NOS Raider when I am done Frame was primed with high build primer and first coat of valspar IH red with hardener and thinner. Needs at least one more coat. Edited June 10, 2015 by stevebo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,527 #43 Posted June 11, 2015 Are you going to sell it when your done ? I am not sure what my plans will be for it. I think it will end up being a nice clean worker. I have one that is all original and IMO very clean. If I sell it I would have to get a decent amount for it. I don;t have a lot of money into it "yet" but have time and labor.

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,527 #47 Posted June 13, 2015 Today I made a round trip of about 7 hours to pick up another 520 down in New Hope PA. Got home, cleaned up the engine and then pulled it and installed in on the 520-8. Ken B stopped up after work and helped out. All mounted up but need to figure out a few wiring issues that I believe will end up being a switch or something. We are getting no power to the fuse block at all... Will take a look at the electrical diagram and figure it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
