Plow Toro 520xi

Recommended Posts

ToroMan

Good afternoon, looking for some help regarding a plow assembly for a 1999 520xi model # 73542.  I'm told that a traditional Wheel Horse plow assembly will not fit this tractor, that the xi series requires a special plow assembly.  Problem is, most of the people selling plow assemblies don't seem to know what they have, and I don't know what I need!  I have included the supposed model numbers pulled from the Toro website, including that of a retrofit kit, but I'm not sure what that retrofit kit does! Does it enable me to fit a traditional Wheel Horse plow to an xi model? Don't know.  One guy selling a plow knew what type of plow he had and told me it would not fit my tractor, stating "Lift link and handle are in the wrong locations."

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just need to know what the hell I'm looking for, which might help me find it!

 

From Toro site:

 

Model #: 79355
48" Snow/Dozer Blade

 

Model #: 95-4090
48" Dozer Blade Retrofit Kit

 

Thanks!!!

The xi series definitely takes a different snow plow frame that has a "sway bar" that fits into the front attach-a-matic and different angle from seat lever that goes on the outside of the foot rest and lift point is further back as well and rear axle attach-a-matic is also different Toro 100-3390 https://www.jackssmallengines.com/jacks-parts-lookup/manufacturer/toro/attachments/100-3390-rear-attach-a-matic-kit-5xi-series-garden-tractors/rear-attach-a-matic-for-garden-tractor... I have attached pics for reference... https://www.partstree.com/models/95-4090-toro-48-blade-retrofit-kit/frame-assembly-0/... The xi series is a beast but attachments are hard to come by. Good luck.

So let so let me ask a couple of other questions...

 

Does that retrofit kit to which you linked  enable me to use a different style plow frame with my xi?

 

And if I understand correctly, I would need the rear Attach a Matic kit even with the correct plow frame. Is that correct?

 

Thanks again!

Found a vendor in Minnesota, Wheelhorse Parts and More, that is fabricating complete 5Xi rear attach-a-matics part# 100-3390. Just purchased one and now my 520Xi is ready to accept the snowblower!

Just checked Lowell's website for the 5xi Rear Attach-A-Matic and that is a great price!

      96-42BA01 plow. Brand new in box. I assembled to make sure all parts were included. Did have to add a trip spring, spring rod, and index rod. Someone "borrowed" them as it sat in the warehouse for 50 years. Box is a bit rough, but I could reinforce it for transport. I will disassemble it, need workbench space.
      Made for (per manual):
      1974 A800,
      1975 A80
      1976-7 A90 A100
      I believe vertical shaft tractors. Maybe others?
      Thanks for looking

      Hello all. My battery in my 520LXI was going out, the lights would come on but the engine would not turn over. I put a 1.5 amp truckle charger on the battery when i left for a 4 days trip. I come back and the same. I also noticed i left the key in the run position (the hour meter did not run). I swap out batteries and now the mower is completely dead. When i turn the key - nothing. I verify the battery it good (13.04v), negative is connected to the engine block, voltage is good on the solenoid side of the starter. I out the key to run and try to jump to see if i can start and nothing. Not even a spark. I have used this mover for years and has 500 hours. Could the ignition switch or brake switch be bad? The seat switch is jumped.What else could cause my mower to be dead? Thank you in advance.
