Wheelman817 21 #26 Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks guys. The current owner stated that he doesn't actually use the tractor, as he owns other ones also. I guess he's more of a collector so to speak. As far as the plow not measuring up, I'm not real sure about it as he didn't have any pics posted of the plow. Guess I'll have to see for myself when I got to look at it. Also, thank you "sparky" for the breakdown in estimates on the pieces of the deal. I may use that as a reference when I go to meet this guy. I'm always open to any and all input from anyone with knowledge To Maynard: I take it you've found the post I was looking at? Lol 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I frequently travel (with my utility trailer) out to Western Maryland (Deep Creek Lake area), so I am always looking within a 2 hour drive of my destination to see if there is anything I need to bring home with me. I was looking at the 1993 520-H for $1850 with 750 hours, two-stage blower, and 42" deck. Edited February 17, 2017 by rmaynard 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelman817 21 #29 Posted February 17, 2017 I haven't seen that one as I'm not readily available for much travel at the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,576 #30 Posted February 18, 2017 around here most 520's worth thier salt start at $ 800.00 and go up from there. I have paid up to $ 300.00 for ones with blown motors on them, but that also included some attachments. I know some dealers around here get $ 3600.00 for just a tractor and deck. that's usually the 90 and newer forward swept axles tractors though. with that being said I personally would not give that much for one becuase I'm too cheap. I would bet if most guys had a tractor in that condition and could back up the info on it, would being asking a higher price then what they say they would pay for it. good luck and let us know what you decide to do eric j 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHwest8597 85 #32 Posted February 18, 2017 I haven't seen the tractor in person mentioned in original post but I have seen other pictures than the ones posted in ad. Tractor is worth $1,500. The seller had a LSE and some other tractors posted this summer. They were all about $3,000 plus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
