520h followed me home

Jim how you find them that cheap? Great find I have 3 and love them best of the classics IMO, haven't had any real experience on the 5xi's yet, and I'm kinda spoiled with hydraulic lift vs manual lift, hope you keep it going many more years,Jeff.

Jeff,

   This one was in the state less than 150 miles round trip.It was listed in Craigs list.It is not running at present but the deck is in great shape with no rust and good blades.The front end is tight and overall I'm happy with what I dragged home.This is the third one for me and is in better overall shape than the others.I work them and let others collect.JAinVA

Believe it or not the owner was happy to see it go.This guy is a Toro dealer.I asked and this was a trade in on a new Zero turn.The place was full of Z turns and this looked like a dinosaur among them.He told me had got it running but it had some electrical issues.Surprise surprise.They are where you find them.JAinVA

Jim, my buddy and I were down your way yesterday and snagged a well kept 416-8 with a Kohler magnum. Right outta your back yard...Urbana. Oh yeah, $100. Came with a 48" deck too. $100. :D

With all this talk of 520-Hs lately and the numerous threads currently on them, I went out yesterday to the garage and started my 1995 520-H.  It started right up with no problem.  But, then I went out and bladed the gravel in the driveway with the '88 416-8 and my Brinly box blade.  Life is good when you get a decent day, a couple of hours of "ME" time and running, working tractors with implements. :wh: :rs:

I also have a 416-8 with a Kohler Magnum with over 3600 hours on the meter.  See my comment earlier in this post about using it to blade the driveway.  At $100, you stole yours.......

@JAinVA Jim are you trying to get a 520 for each acre you own ?:ROTF: When you visited me you did not have any now you have 3. But I still have the pile of chairs and still catching H * * * about the yard. O well gives her something to talk about.

Jim,

   When I visited you I did have one 520h.Its the one I call big ugly,and you can see it in my avatar.I have posted some other photos of it without its hood attached.I have way more of these than I really need but I know what the parts bring.As long as I can get them cheap then they are like the lawn chairs.Hard to say no to.Maybe I'll see you in PA.Luck,JAinVA

Glad to see you got it and that they got it running.  My wife is glad it's off Craigslist I am sure since she claims I don't need another.

I have 2 acres and 4 520's so you need at least 2 per acre.:wh:

      Now that we are finding more uses for the 1990 520H with a KwikWay loader I am experiencing some power loss in the hydro after about a half hour to 45 minutes??????
      Ideas?
    • lodestonefarm

      Selling my trusty WH520H.  ~880 hours (currently used for moving snow when needed so hours may rise) very solid machine, strong and hardworking.  20HP Onan, hydro transmission and hydraulic lift.  Has Matt's foot-pedal conversion for forward/reverse.  Included in the sale is a tall-chute snow blower and 60" mowing deck.  The blower is in excellent condition and is on the tractor currently.  The mowing deck has been a workhorse over the years.  No holes but could use some TLC, probably needs new spindles at some point and could use a couple spots touched up with welder also does NOT have any pulley covers/protectors (see photo).  Tractor has been an incredible tool, very solid and dependable and I'm certainly going to miss her when she's gone.   
       
      Recent maintenance: replaced the plugs this summer, fluids as needed (hydro has about 100 hours on fluid/filter; oil was done in the spring and has about 25 hours on it).  Battery is about 3 years old as are the tires, Terra Trac tires on the rear and turfs on the front.  The seat (with arm rests) isn't in great shape.  I've got a cover for the seat, never used.  It's never really bothered me but new seat cover is included in sale as are 4 hub caps, chains for the rear tires, and some misc spare parts (see photos).  
       
      I've owed this machine about 8 year and put ~350 hours on her.  She's not a show piece but could be restored.  Sheet metal is generally in shape, no rust however the hood does have a couple dings in it.  
       
      I'm only selling because I'm trying to help my son get a small lawn care business started and looking to move to a zero-turn.  The 60" deck is too large for our trailer, the mowing deck lacks pulley safety shields, and we'd like something that mows faster.  My only complaint with this machine is the top-speed (which isn't great when comparing to today's machines) otherwise she's a beast.  They don't make them like this anymore.
