fast88pu 3,370 #1 Posted October 10, 2016 Just picked a 520h and plan to mow with a 60" deck on it. The problem is the tractor looks so tiny with the 23" rear and 16" front tires on it. Has anyone tried running 26x12x12 rears and 18x8.50x8 front tires with a 60" deck? That is what I would like to try but don't want to waste money on the tires if they won't clear. Thank you 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratostar250 934 #2 Posted October 11, 2016 I recently picked up a 520 to put a 60" deck on, and I can't lie, there isn't much room around the tires, I have a feeling you'd maybe have issues turning with larger front tires, and larger rears are for sure going to be tight. Just went out and took a pic for ya. Hope this helps. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,710 #4 Posted October 11, 2016 My 90 520 had 25 X 9.50 X 12 rear tires. The P.O. had shimmed the rear fender pan up about an inch. He also had some spacers to move the wheels out some. I cannot use this set up with a 42" RD deck so I took everything off. Tires with wheels will be for sale if interested. Here's a pic 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,046 #5 Posted October 11, 2016 What's up with the "OH $--t" handle? Gett'n old and having some trouble? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,073 #6 Posted October 11, 2016 I can't speak for the owner of this , but I can see a reason for that handle being there. When I mow the bank in front of my house I sit halfway on the fender and seat and I usually grab the fender there to kind of steady myself. A handle located on the fender there would probably be useful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
