520LXI Dozer blade lift link

Hi all,

 

Quick question that I am hoping some of the members of this forum could help me with.

 

I am a fairly new owner of a 520LXI. I purchased it with the dozer blade, part 79355, over the summer. Last night I decided to install the blade since they are calling for a surprising amount of snow in our area this weekend, and I am excited to try it out! However, during the last step of installation I realized that my blade was missing either of the lift links for my tractor. In this case I believe I would have wanted to use the slotted link to avoid down pressure with snow removal.

In the manual, this looks like a pretty simple part to fab up, and it just attaches with 2 3/8x3/4" clevis pins to the attachment lift plate under the tractor. If you have this setup, would you mind giving me some dimensions of the slotted link? Specifically, overall length, location of the end hole and start/stop of the slot? 

 

There seems to be a ton of dimensions for the older tractor/blade links, but I was unsuccessful in searching this forum for details on the newer style. 


If I don't have this link, it looks like I could simply loop a small piece of chain over the lifting bar for the mower deck and attach it to the blade as well - does anyone see an issue with that? 

 

Thanks a ton for any help!

Just in time! Another hour and mine would be installed. The PO did some modification with an extra hole and inserting a bolt to shorten the slot.

  • Length: 8-3/8"
  • Width: 1-1/2"
  • Thickness: 5/16"
  • center to hole from edge: 3/4"
  • Slot length: 2-1/4"
  • Hole and slot width: 3/8"

Thanks for posting this.

Does this look accurate?

Yes, Garry, mine has the bolt in it so the slotted-end inset could be different than the other end. The bolt just shortens the travel in the slot.

My procrastination, given the history of snowfall in this area (next to none sometimes), has made me scramble now! The forecast is mid 40's for next week. But the city just about shutdown with 7/10's of an inch so we will be snowbound if we get the 28" that they are saying.

      Selling a nice deck for the 5xi line. Starting it at $500 on FB Marketplace, open to offers.
       
      Model Number: 78395
       
      Good shape, ready to put to work. Does not include pulley box.
       
      Recently sold the tractor. Was going to make a coffee table out of it but the wife is not interested.
       
      Overall good operating condition. Cuts well, spindles, pulleys, rollers, and wheels are in good shape. Deck is solid, no rot. Very heavy duty, weighs over 300lbs. The only piece not functional is the install wheel. This does not affect the operation of the deck, just installation/removal.

      Dead 520LXI
      By Berco
      Hello all. My battery in my 520LXI was going out, the lights would come on but the engine would not turn over. I put a 1.5 amp truckle charger on the battery when i left for a 4 days trip. I come back and the same. I also noticed i left the key in the run position (the hour meter did not run). I swap out batteries and now the mower is completely dead. When i turn the key - nothing. I verify the battery it good (13.04v), negative is connected to the engine block, voltage is good on the solenoid side of the starter. I out the key to run and try to jump to see if i can start and nothing. Not even a spark. I have used this mover for years and has 500 hours. Could the ignition switch or brake switch be bad? The seat switch is jumped.What else could cause my mower to be dead? Thank you in advance.

      Chart Attachment interchange 1955-2000 110 pages.pdf
      By Trouty56
      Tractor vs. Implement cross reference chart for models from 1955 - 2000
      110 pages 513.43KB
       
      This chart lists the original attachment model
      The model that replaced the original model
      The model that was available when the list was made
       
      Often many models between the last two are not listed.
      You must go from year to year and follow the model numbers to see them all.
       
      For a complete list of models click on the magnifying glass in the Search box. Enter DNA in the Search box and select Files from the drop down menu. Two pages of 33 results will come up in random order. Find the attachment you are looking for and click on it. The DNA for that model of attachment will come up. Look for the model of your attachment in the DNA list. They are organized from earliest to latest.
      OR
      Search the Files using a model number you know will work. Look through the results for DNA in another file name for the same item. That will have the full list of models.
       
      STD for a model indicates that attachment was standard equipment that came on that model of tractor.
