Do the deck and snowblower function?

The cheap seat(s)

Agreed 100%! Did the same thing on my last tractor! Got mine on the Jungle site. -
Electric conversion

Yeah, that is a bleeping battery! 51V, 65AH... That's a big fella! -
I think they all had it. That was the first model to use the swept axle, heavy duty front end. The 520-H came with it after 1990.

Nice save Bar... yah the hood ornament & bucket. Grill looks really strait If the pins do break off @855project a dab of silicone will hold it on. -
I'd heard the same thing and never let any of mine idle for more than a few seconds. I've owned 4 and every one of them developed a sudden rod knock. Two VH-80's, the HH-100 and an OVXL120. They all ran strong up until the rods tried to escape.

I doubt this, but if true, could we have 25 hour days soon? Three Gorges like all large hydro projects required extensive lab model testing to develop the most efficient and cavitation free turbine. In addition due to the heavy sediment in the Yangtze River, we did a lot of lab work testing materials and overlay procedures to protect the turbine components from the erosion caused by the sediment.

2025 Deer and Fish Tails
SylvanLakeWH replied to Ed Kennell's topic in non tractor related discussion
No no no... This is on a friend's 80 acres that is set up for deer... 5 blinds / stands, corn, trails, shooting alleys... Its spoken for during regular season, but for early / late doe there's no one else there... -

WTG Jim. Is that the one reading the SLOW DOWN sign?

2025 Deer and Fish Tails
SylvanLakeWH replied to Ed Kennell's topic in non tractor related discussion
Michigan added an "extra" late antlerless season this year to encourage hunters to take more doe due to declining hunters, harvests and increasing deer issues... I did my part this afternoon... -
They had a larger air filter and the seat mount went up under the console plate to catch a second screw. The later 520H had the same seat mount. The HC models weren't as fancy using less chrome.

Thanks for the reply, I've gotta get mine off of there sooner or later -

There are two tiny push washers on the underside of the hood. If you're very careful, you can remove them and re-use them. Use small pliers and gently rotate them back and forth while pulling down. The main thing is to not break the pins off the ornament. The washers can be replaced. -

Sorry to side track but how does one remove the chrome hood ornament off the front? -
So, given that the above listing shows 1990 last. What percentage of 520HC had the splayed forward front axle?

China's Three Gorges Dam is supposedly slowed down the earth's rotation. It's weight has caused thousands of earthquakes in the area. It's also linked to increased land slides due to changes in water pressure and land stability. I wonder if the Three Gorges Dam has helped in the movement of the North Magnetic Pole?

It's been a while but got my dump cart back from powdercoat and it looks amazing

Section 6 Page 18 covers the float.

That’s the exact same set I got off the jungle site. No complaints. But I do regret not buying a bucket full of cables selling dirt cheap when a local old timey sole proprietor went out of business. Copper cable has become ludicrously expensive. Absolutely! Or scavenge the bone yard for battery cables to cut to size, but I bet those are up in price, too.

I'll get mine off and take some pics of it, I'd part with it although a foot throttle does sound kinda cool.

Hydraulic leak help on Wheelhorse C-145
TonyToro Jr. replied to TonyToro Jr.'s topic in Transmissions and transaxles
2 weeks later. We are all back together! 2 new hydraulic hoses, and a fully rebuild control unit. Got it all back together and took it for a drive in the dark. Didn’t see any leaks so we are good! Thanks for the help everyone! -
Yes, the bolt replaced the solenoid, but you have the wrong idea about what the solenoid looks like. The carbs that have them all have a regular needle and float, the solenoid screw in where a bowl bolt should be, and has a plunger with a rubber plug that resembles the tip of a .22 bullet. The plunger does retract when powered, but it blocks the bowl end of the main jet to shut off fuel, rather than closing the needle to shut off fuel coming in from the tank. And yes, a few $1 diodes could prevent them from selling a lot of $300 controller boards.
