slammer302 2,154 #2 Posted May 28, 2017 The HC didn't have the chrome and has a faster hydro trans. It was more geared towards the commercial buyers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldlineman 1,450 #3 Posted May 28, 2017 I believe the HC is a commercial model of the H. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DennisThornton 4,769 #5 Posted May 28, 2017 I gather the HC, "C" for Commercial, is faster but it seems there was something else different mechanically... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,576 #6 Posted May 28, 2017 the HC was the first to have the forward swept axle to make the tractor accept the 60" deck, It also had a taller air cleaner and a non-louvered hood, As stated above it had a faster ground speed and no chrome. I picked up my first 520-HC this week, still going over it and checking it out,but I like it so far eric j 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 4,984 #7 Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) HC also has just one idiot light for oil pressure. Has forward swept axle with no gear reduction and has the heavy duty tie rods. It also has the extra support under the seat with the stepped tunnel cover like the later models came with. Edited May 28, 2017 by cleat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
