Hello Red Square Community!
My father recently rebuilt a 1990 520-H he found at a junk yard and surprised me with it as a birthday present. I've done a lot of searching for guidance on implements/attachments that will fit this particular model but am coming up short. I would love to get a rototiller, snow thrower, and a blade but I have no idea what will work. My model number is 41-20OE01. Will any wheel horse attachment prior to 1990 work with this tractor? I'm new to this so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Most of the 300/400/500 and C series attachments will work with the 520-H.

The tricky part is that in order for attachments that came from the C, 300/400 tractors often require an extra adapter, extension, or unique lever to allow them to fit the 520-H--even though they are identical in all other aspects. It's because the frame of the 500 series is longer than the others. A prime example is the snow blade: The C, 300/400/500 blades are all basically the same... the 520-H requires a frame extension to allow it to attach at the back Attach-a-Matic hitch--AND it has a different angle adjustment lever that has a "zig-zag" bend in it instead of being just straight.

Is the frame actually longer or is it because of the swept forward axle? Just curious.

I believe it's because of the forward swept axel add a few inches to accommodate the 60" deck.

I used a 48" blade on a 520 for two years without the extension bracket.
The back of the blade rubbed the front of the right tire when the blade was angled.
Not bad, but annoying, and it wore the paint off the blade.
The extension gives about 4" extra clearance needed for the forward swept front axle.
Problem is, they are hard to find, and go for about $150 with the extension bracket, lift point brace and offset lever arm.

      1054 (953) Hydraulic Unit Rebuild

      OK, I have my new return spring. As you can see the overall length of the replacement spring is much taller than the old one. I assume I'll need to shorten the spring so that it engages with the outboard holes and at the same time have the "U" sit behind the roll pin. Or am I looking at this all wrong?
       
      Thanks in advance!

      Two tractors and lots of parts
      By davem1111
      My original "inquiry" thread has been frozen but is still viewable, so please refer to it for pictures and descriptions:  

      I've dropped in $800 as a "starting price" for the entire lot. At first I thought it should be a higher number, but as I mentioned I am not looking to get top dollar, I am looking to downsize. My preference is to sell the entire lot, but depending on the interest level I may be willing to sell some things separately, and possibly ship small things.  A lot of this is in the "Free Stuff" category, but that mostly applies to someone who wants to buy the tractors and wants all the free stuff along with them.  
       
      If you have questions about anything in the pictures, ask here or send a PM. I can take more pictures if needed.
       
      Ideally I'd like this all gone before winter sets in.

      OME 417-8 drive belt needed
      By rustyedge1
      The local place I’ve bought parts from for years has changed owners, now they can’t even spell Wheel Horse let alone be if any help.
      Doing my spring tune up I noticed my drive belt is getting pretty ratty. Due to all I’ve read thought I’d ask for some advise on getting it right the first time on a new belt.
      Is there still dealers on this site selling OME stuff ? I know there are tons of aftermarket crap but not looking for that.
      Thank in advance.
