Pullstart 67,042 #2 Posted October 29, 2020 TJ! The picture of the tractor didn’t load for me, but a fresh coat of paint on the wheels always looks good! As for the exhaust, it looks like possibly an engine transplant from a different type of machine. When loosening exhaust pipe, often times you cannot crank it out, but you might be able to crank it in a bit to break it loose, then it’ll back out. Good luck! Remember it took years (decades) to get there, it might not come apart in minutes! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 10,781 #3 Posted October 29, 2020 @Tj salyers Are you wanting to install a stack style exhaust or just a regular muffler. I kind of like that style exhaust it has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71_Bronco 1,072 #9 Posted October 29, 2020 TJ, Welcome to the forum. Looks like you have a nice little machine there, good and solid. For the exhaust, use lots of penetrating fluid (I like PB Blaster), and a little heat from a MAP Gas torch can help too. Feel free to ask any questions, we are all on here to help, and there is a vast wealth of knowledge on this forum. You've definitely come to the right place.

Darb1964 1,120 #10 Posted October 29, 2020 I have had a 520-h for thirty one years, has two thousand plus hours on it,guessing. Hour meter stoped working long long time ago with 770 o on it. Never had a electrical problem that kept it from running. I don't regret buying it and have picked up another one and two 518-h. I have a 418-8 and love it, when the onans are running and running right they are hard to beat. I would take a 417 or18 over the five hundred tractors everything being equal now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
