stevebo-(Moderator) 8,034 #6 Posted July 10, 2019 I agree with Craig on the decals. I repainted my 520lxi and got the decals from Terry. Always top quality. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fast88pu 3,313 #7 Posted July 10, 2019 It will be buffed out and possibly decals. Sleeper look is better lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 58,791 #14 Posted August 13, 2019 How’s it run? By the way, other than boost referenced fuel system, do you play with the jetting too, or is that a secret? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 8,526 #16 Posted August 13, 2019 It’s maybe not real original 😂 i guess.... but things you changed looks really Bad Ass, curious for Soundcheck please Sir. 😎 Btw: Ain’t you use an Oil temp gauge to take care of your Engine ? I did a lambda adjustment ahead with a simple System on my Bike, but this System isn‘t available anymore. Actually they very cheap to buy, but are good enough, to get a usable Value for adjustment, but i think you did it allready? That‘s a real cool Sleeper, i like the Style 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bds1984 1,377 #17 Posted August 17, 2019 Nice. I have a turbo off a 1.0 Ford Focus that is in need of a new home, most likely on a Kohler M18. What did your turbo come off of? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who wouldn't want to see a 520H that has been pieced together from multiple tractors, powered by a Kohler from a Cub, with a turbo from a Ford? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
