Question and Advice on D520Lxi for Front Blade!
Bugzilla46310 replied to Darrell1958's topic in Implements and Attachments
Found a picture of the mounting to the simplicity. This is where I cut the front of a doner 425 and bolted it to the Simplicity frame. It was unbolted when the blade came off in order to use the FEL. -

Question and Advice on D520Lxi for Front Blade!
Bugzilla46310 replied to Darrell1958's topic in Implements and Attachments
As my 520xi came with a single stage blower, that will be used. But I have adapted my JD54”blade from a 425 I used to have to 2 tractors. I cut the front of a doner 425 frame and bolted that to a Simplicity I used to have. The JD quick hitch attached as designed. When we got rid of the Simplicity and got a Kubota BX2680, the Kubota frame width was perfect that allowed me to make a bracket to bolt on to each side of the frame that the JD quick hitch mounts to that. Then tap into the hydraulic. So I would think you could adapt one to the 520Lxi, but I have not studied the frame to know what obstacles are there. A few pictures of how I mounted it to the Kubota. -
That reminds me.. I think I do have an old ammo box with the side box clasp someone got me to put tools in truck bed.

Thank you for clarifying

Always excellent idea

Yes, there is a whole video series, and the thread was part of a group of Suburbans I picked up in North Dakota with Mrs.P. Here’s a link to where the Kick Start one began. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/102878-da’-burbs/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-1226415

Question and Advice on D520Lxi for Front Blade!
OoPEZoO replied to Darrell1958's topic in Implements and Attachments
I'm in the middle of fitting up a front blade on my 522xi right now. The proper frames are a bit hard to come by......they pop up for reasonable prices, but they sell quickly. I bought one from someone at the Big Show this year, but it was missing the adjustment arm. That's the part I'm working on fabricating now. The frame itself is almost identical to the 300-500 series frame, but its longer than even the 520H extended frame. I know that because I also have a 314-8 with a 520H swept front axle on it and laid both plow frames down side by side. The spacing from the rear axle to the lift linkage is the same, but frame is longer to get the blade out in front of the wheels far enough that they don't interfere with steering. Then there is the adjustment arm. The 5xi frame has the better/smoother arm, but its much more difficult to fabricate due to having to bend pipe instead of just drilling a hole and bolting it together. I'll take some pics of what I'm in the middle of and see if its helpful. My 5xi plow frame is currently on a set of saw horses in the garage if you need any measurements, just let me know what you want. -
It was running yesterday!! It was running, I shut it off and then went back to restart it and no crank. I pushed it into the garage… took apart the key switch, with 5 pins. Normally. 6 pin on a magnum. I was confused! So, i took out a brand new 103990, but the Run circuit was wrong B + R+ I+ A. On the 94, the Run B+L. So, 116338 ignition switch, are there any other part numbers? I am severely confused!!

@Pullstart.....That tractor is awesome. I'm not sure how I missed seeing that one until now. Love it. Did you do any build threads or videos when putting it together?

Does this ticking on my 520-8 sound like the cable seat going?

I often pull one plug at a time on my twins when trying to locate a problem. They do run on one cylinder. -
Yes they did but never were used on a K-341. Ignition timing on Kohler engines. Gapping the ignition points at .020 has always been the standard answer to how points should be set. That probably will get you into the ballpark where the engine will run, but with a bit of additional effort you can improve the engine’s power and performance. The Kohler engine manual in the Red Square files section covers two methods for setting the ignition timing, Static Timing and using a Timing Light. This manual is a relatively new manual and it overlooks the fact that many of our engines were built prior to the ACR (automatic compression release) camshaft. Earlier engines (mostly 1965 and earlier) had a Spark Advance camshaft that can not be timed using Static timing. At rest (and very low RPMs) the timing is retarded to fire slightly after TDC. The timing mark (SP) on your flywheel is at twenty degrees before top dead center but at rest the points on these engines break about ten degrees after top dead center. The only reliable way to check or set the timing on these engines is with a timing light. There are a couple ways to determine what camshaft you have. Presuming the camshaft in your engine is the one it was born with the data plate on the engine has a suffix that can tell you what camshaft was used. The table below will tell you the suffix applicable to your engine. The other way to determine what camshaft you have is to remove the cam gear cover and take a look. If you see a mechanism attached to the cam gear it is the ACR cam. The following engines have the spark advance camshaft; K-141, Suffix prior to “C” K-161, Suffix prior to “J” K-181, Suffix prior to “D” K-241, Suffix prior to “D” With the spark advance cam the timing site hole is located in the bearing plate below the Starter / Generator

Nope. I'd describe the tool box on my 8n as being water resistant. It is located under the hood, so that keeps the majority of the water out. The lid on the tool box itself has a 1/2" or so flange on the lid that parks outside the box itself. No gasket. Water could get into the box - under extreme conditions.

RJ Steering Roll Pin Installation

I have used a small extra heavy duty C-clamp to push the pin in where swinging a hammer is impossible. -

417-8mule replied to 417-8mule's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
so I did try that engaging the pto because I was thinking it might just be something loose there, but didn’t seem to have any effect. I haven’t loaded the pto with any belt or attachment so maybe that’s the next step. Compression test is easy as well just need to find my tester so I’ll give that a shot too -
Waterproof tool boxes are newer than the concept of tractor or truck tool boxes. If the lid has a good over-hang on it water should largely stay out.

lynnmor replied to 417-8mule's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Always start with a compression test, that won't always find a loose valve seat, but if the compression is low pull the head. The front head is easy, just unplug the headlight wires and pull the hinge pin and remove the hood, then the head access will be wide open. What I heard, in the all too brief video, sounds like the noise is at engine speed, a valve issue will be half the engine speed. You might want to engage the PTO and see if the noise changes. -

the surging might just be me messing with the throttle. I had sped it up and slowed it down the original video was longer I had to trim it down. I will say it starts pretty easy and idles fine, little smoke on start though especially when cold out -
I used a nice old ammo box on my lever steer. Over center clasp, nice heavy gasket.
