Tuneup 1,452 #1 Posted October 16, 2019 Hi gang, I wanted to report - another one sitting in my garage. The 76 C-120 got her clutch parts last week so is back at it. She's a bit of a wreck but is mechanically strong. The restored C-125 was just getting too dirty while the clutch parts were on order and the ags were digging but getting stuck on the hill - just hopping. Better in the furrows, i guess. The ancient turfs on the '76 are better. That said, the wife wants an auto and I've wanted a side discharge deck in place of the 42 RD. I love the sound of an Onan. No 520s around. Not much of Wheel Horse anything in Georgia so leap when they appear. Picked up a 516H. I know, I know, weaker Eaton. Of course, the engine surges like mad. Has to run on 1/2 choke to smooth so there's carb work ahead. The pump takes her up a 30° incline with mid throttle and max surge and holds speed on the downhill so I decided to hand over the $$. Lots of spray paint but she's a diamond in the rough, at least to me. The 42 SD will do well and has been well maintained. So, three generations sitting here. Couldn't be happier. Thanks to Rich in Lula Georgia if he's out there reading. Now, if I can get through all the honey-dos, I'll be able to dig into the thing - have all winter. Oh, the hood scoop is kinda cute. Functional fan blows down on the engine and is enabled by the light switch. 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,743 #4 Posted October 16, 2019 I like it! So awesome to have a 3rd... once there was a WHX3 now he is @WHX24! That’s a force multiplier of 8😁 Cool hood scoop and looks to be a nice tractor overall. Keep us posted what you do on it over the winter... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can turbo your Horse for about $30! Looks like a solid tractor! I assume the only big differences between a 516 and a 520 are the hydro and engine?
