For the love of a 520

I need these wheel covers

I wish I had a pic of them when I got the 520H…

They were pitted and I did not think they would have turned out well had I had them re-chromed…

So I had them powder coated in a “Shiney chrome”.

Then I used a red and a black paint pen to color in the Wheel Horse emblem and black stripe.

If you like I will find out the brand of paint pens.

BTW… I stole the idea of painting the emblem and stripe from @WVHillbilly520H

on 520's (at least on the one I got) there is a temp sensor on the transaxle that lights a warning light on the dash if it gets too hot

I wonder if my hydro temp warning light works on my 1994 520H ?

Hard to find a half decent set for any brand

Maybe someone will correct me, but I know of no mention anywhere of what temp sets it off. It would be nice to know "what" is a hydro hight temp...

Couldn't  pull it up on Redsquare. Went to Google put in " Hydro transmission Temperature" There is a Redsquare Tread down the page " 520H Hydro Overtemp".

qwest_ca (File Mod) Stated temperature switch closes at 200 Degrees information from domification guide.  Also that normal operation temperature is 180 degrees.

 

Not in the post just general information on google. Hydro fluid temperature above 180 degrees should be avoided.

When I was reassembling the tractor I tested the heat sensor with a heat gun using the data that @Lee1977 also found. Not scientific, for sure, but when I dialed the heat gun from 180 to 200 and waited, in about 10  seconds the switch closed. Good enough for me.
