New Horse with Sweepster

Recommended Posts

Well, I got my latest horse home tonight, it's the 3rd 520 I've got in the last 2 months.  I didn't post pics of the 1st one as it was kind of a turd.  The 2nd one is THE nicest original horse I've ever owned.  It's a 96 model with 800 hours on it but looks like it's got 80 hours on it.  You can kinda see it in the background of one of these pics.  It's absolutely gorgeous...it's staying with me for a long long time (hopefully).  Tonight's is a 90 model.  Has the swept front axle but no steering reduction.  Hour meter shows 1,100+  but does not work so who knows what the real hours are.  The engine doesn't have the air cleaner cover OR top on it.  Don't know how long he's ran it like that, but that's never good!!!  The Sweepster (see different thread in attachments) is in better condition than I originally thought.  It is just dirty, and in very good condition.  The cab is just a tad faded but in really solid condition.  I didn't steal it, but I think I got a good deal on it, especially since it was less than 20 miles from my house (not many horses around here)  Can't wait to play with it this weekend.

Tyson good deal there...i bought my Anniversary brand new in March of '98 still have it just a tad under 800 hrs here's a recent pic...and the those smaller cabs IMO are just a bit more cozy and warm...good luck with your new toys, Jeff.

Using a sweepster without an air cleaner on the engine is dumber than dumb.  You are going to appreciate the cab.  It only takes me an hour or so to do all my sweeping in the spring...but i may be spread out over several days waiting for the wind to die down or shift.  You can't change the sweepster angle.  you think a face full of snow from a snow blower is irritating try a face full of pebbles grass and dust.
