It goes faster, has the HD front end with quick steering. However, I put the 2 stage blower on my 520 with reduction steering just so it is easier to turn. The older 520 with the smaller tires is handy for the smaller 42" deck for doing edging and ditches. The 416 I mainly use just to move trailers around. My wife enjoys the little rear engine 111-6.

cleat 7,185 #15 Posted March 21, 2016 I guess, the right tractor for the job. Gives me an excuse to have that many. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chas520H 17 #16 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Yes that is what my wife is worried about is how many will I want. I keep telling her every tractor has a specific use and its not what I want but what I "need"she called no way on me then I showed her cleats collection and she turned instant pale color.lol Edited March 22, 2016 by Chas520H Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,898 #17 Posted March 22, 2016 My wife gives me grief about how many tractors are here but seems to tolerate it now. Her face turned instant pale when she was handed a snow shovel after complaining about them. Told her I'd get rid of them all and she can start shoveling the driveway! In her defense (just a little), There was about 20 at one time, which was a little overboard (just a little) Down to about 10 now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chas520H 17 #18 Posted March 24, 2016 Yes but my wife enjoys shoveling snow so that wouldn't have worked with her. With my other tractor I had to call and beg her not to shovel the driveway so I could use my snow blower attachment. I love her all the same and have been truely blessed to have her in my life. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BESTDOGEVER 218 #21 Posted March 24, 2016 Good eye for details Save Old Iron that would be an interesting situation but quite possibly the answer as the normal plug wires wouldn't account for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,898 #22 Posted March 24, 2016 I do remember seeing glass tubes filled with neon, or some type of gas, on a custom motorcycle. Looked awesome when the engine was running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 7,185 #24 Posted March 26, 2016 That is a spark tester. Just take it out and put it in your toolbox. Bonus tool. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
