Happy Birthday Thegearhead0324
Thegearhead0324 replied to 953 nut's topic in non tractor related discussion
Thank you very much @Ed Kennell , I’ll be sure to do that. -
I paid $650 for a fully functional (including all the guages) 520-H that was in decent shape. It was probably too much at that time but is the max I would give for one unless it was showroom perfect. $3K would be if it had under 100 hours and garage kept perfect paint with a couple equivalent attachments and new tires. ...Maybe. It would have to be awfully nice.

If the low oil switch is faulty, you will have symptoms of a bad starter. It is part of the interlock system and the tractor will not crank if it is bad.

I buy it by the 5 gallon bucket since @Achtohas 20 tractors. I also use diesel in some tractors since it's designed to deal with soot better in some girls that have less than desirable rings.

My shop towels get burned generally.

Bob's not so patented juice bottles. One for dirty oil one for clean. I just marked them with a sharpie. But should come up with something better. I transfer the clean to the old school can on the left to dispence. Picked at a flea market for a buck. My only goal at this stage of life is to do an oil change and not spill a drop. Never gonna happen so now I purposely knock a can over and get the mess over with.

Pulling Sulky behind 856
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to FLtractor's topic in Implements and Attachments
Be nice if you could find a ball for the clam shell hitch. They mount upside down to a normal trailer ball. The drawbar on the sulky is 1-1/4" schedule 40 water pipe. Slide the clam shell into the pipe and insert the pin to hold them there. This was used with a heavy front attachment on the 2-wheel tractors. The other casting with the hole in it is for when no front mounted heavy attachment was used. It is called a roller rest and the roller on the front rides on a flat bar to keep the 2-wheel tractor and sulky horizontal. The roller allows for turns. -
Ok Sir...

Stick with the thread below, asking the same questions by tagging onto old threads isn't going to be helpful.

FWIW this is also Harry Houdini's birthday

If i recall tailgate can hold 400lbs??? Think the payload of bed is 850lbs. Again......I'm not 100% certain. I'd have to look that up. There's quality aftermarket power stereo kits available for the 520. My mom is a tiny lady & she drives it all over. She has 14 acres & even rides it back in the woods with no issues. Its very light in the front so I'm sure that helps. Maybe with a snow plow installed you may want the power steering?? She has a bad knee so she uses it daily to get the mail- her driveway is over 400ft long & not straight. My situation was more about having the compact size of SxS so thats why I didnt go w/700. We bought 3 520s at the same time. Me, my mom, & my sister. My dad died almost a year ago & they had talked about getting a SxS but he got sick. Now that she has it its made so many things easier for her.

Which Year Wheel Horse I have and 310-8 on Hood?
Railboy replied to Railboy's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
953 nut, and from the illustration and from what I recall, the Metal Proctive Cover does not come near it? I am going to pull the cover to make sure it looks good I guess if I can see it? But I did have issues getting the belt on the Transmission Pulley, could I have hit it then or anything? I am thinking from the illustration it is possible? Also, I have not really hit on this much in the thread, but I do not have any charging and voltmeter does not read. Thus thinking do to the fuse blowing. Thing here is that I have yet to see any wires that have been impeded upon. So, bewildered as why the issue? -
careful with the rags you used to apply the stuff. Left wadded up, they are capable of self igniting.

$8,000 in 1986 is equivalent in purchasing power to approximately $23,741.02 today (as of early 2026), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. This represents a total inflation increase of 196.76% over 40 years, meaning prices today are nearly 3 times higher.

Wow I was way off then. Just for reference gas was .93 back then. I would have the receipt framed and on the wall Don. Display at a show with the tractor.
