After the hard work of running the walk behind trimmer and then hiking yesterday morning my energy was absolutely spent. I've had to learn over the last several years that when I'm done, I'm done. Hence, I couldn't get much of anything done yesterday afternoon other than resting. It's all good. I ate plenty of protein and mostly good foods and rehydrated yesterday and I feel better this morning. 🙃 Today's plan is to drink coffee and dodge rain drops for an hour or three. That'll be followed by moving some amount of firewood. The areas behind the barn and off to the right side of the house have several piles waiting to be gathered up and relocated. We bring the log length on the home made pole trailer or already cut pieces in the two yard trailers up to the front driveway circle where we've been processing it this year. I've been working on the Electrical corner area in the barn off n on over the last few days too. Likely I'll hang another piece of pegboard there for more wall storage. That there pile of parts and accessories is another one that has grown more than I'd realized. 😁😁😁😁😁.... oops. As part of reorganizing my mental and physical life I've been trying very hard to place like items together in the same area. As we moved from one workshop space to another and built the basement apartment and DE- organized everything we had a few occasions of helpers moving things. To facilitate maximum effectiveness and efficiency they tossed things in totes. I do appreciate the help. A LOT... Now I have to sort the "help"..... 🙄 I've been finding things piled in totes that I'd have never considered putting together. That's good though because I'm finding all kinds of neat things I've forgotten all about. 😃 On the plus side I have at least twice the amount of battery cable I knew about and I found a WH plow lever I thought was lost.

The item that I'll be looking for, it always works that way. -

to Red Square. Check all the electrical connections to hopefully eliminate any future difficulties. That model is known for electrical issues but once maintained they will work well.

to Red Square. Pull the carb off and do a thorough cleaning.

New to me. 314-H FEL. The loader works great, but some housekeeping to do to it. 1; the belt 32”? 2; the bottom suction hose 3/4” x 40’ 3; Hydraulic fluid The belt is cracked and way too tight. The slide bolts are at their tightest position and the belt is already tight! I hear it’s supposed to be 32”. (Must have had a 30” belt on there?) the bottom suction hose is cracked, and i want to replace it. It doesn’t look like too high a pressure hose with the two band clamps? Hydraulic fluid…. Which kind do i use?

Case International 585 and implements
sjoemie himself replied to sjoemie himself's topic in other brands
Hi all! Been a while. Still kicking around. Still building. In regards to building there's some heavy stuff that needs moving from time to time. Most of it I did with the diy spear but that has it's limits. I've been looking for a lifting mast (is that what you call it?) to go behind the 585. Yesterday I finally picked one up. Lift height is 2.8m (~10ft.) and lift weight is 2500kg (5500lbs). That kind of lift capacity is great and all but it now (the lack of) weight of my tractor is the limiting factor Any way.. here are some pictures. *edit 2.0 picture issues resolved, supporting member status renewed- 54 replies

Welcome! AND... do disassemble the dreaded 9 pin connector to inspect it for corroded, loose terminals and ANY signs of melting - a common 520 problem.
-
Hope you are well . Have a Great one.

103990 is a very popular switch so should not be hard to find. There is no substitute. There is a good chance the B terminal overheated because of a loose or dirty connection. One thing to check before plugging in a new switch. Click on the picture of the switch to see the connector.

My big ol' 1998 Toro Wheel Horse 520Lxi thread
DeltaNu1142 replied to DeltaNu1142's topic in Engines
Well… yesterday was not a good day for my WH. It’s been performing well, aside from some issues with getting grease into the zerks on the mower deck. The valve cover gasket is steadily leaking oil, but I was planning to get to that this summer. I stopped mowing to fill the tires and tank, and on restart the oil pressure light came on. I checked the dipstick. No oil showing, so I gradually added, checked, added, until I saw oil on the stick. I restarted and blew a large white exhaust cloud. Oil spat out of the exhaust pipe. I shut it down immediately and drained all of the oil, then refilled with 1.9q. It’s seems to be running fine, but clearly smoking and spraying an oil mist on the driveway. I pulled it into the shed under its own power and shut it down. This is just a bad time for this kind of careless mistake to screw up my tractor. I’m traveling for work a bunch and don’t have time to mess with it. And based on the fact that I can’t even find a valve cover gasket available, I’m reluctant to start looking for any other parts I’ll need. -

@WHX?? you swap a good hub on there and I’ll take that funky one off your hands free! -
I would also run a fine bead of silicone or similar on the seam of the two piece intake manifold. All the way down the seam on both sides. That, along with cleaning the carb worked wonders for my 520-H.

I kinda think you're correct sir. I was watching your video trying to figure out why your tiller was bouncing even with a bag of concrete on it. It just never settles in like mine does. Thought maybe your lift cable was too short or something. Your tiller should drop down to the belly of the gear case (or a little lower) when the lift arm is lowered. I've used my tiller on bright red clay that was hard as a brick, with no concrete bag and it never jumped like that. It will rock the tractor in a hard spot but the tines actually pull down and dig. If anything it will push the tractor even in low range sometimes.

I'm looking to purchase the rear bracket snow blade assembly for my H267. The two main parts needed are the Bracket blade mount (92-7070-03 and Mounting Bracket 93-1389-03. Hoping someone has parted out a Series H260 and has a set for sale. Thanks for your consideration.
-
I bet Toro is quite proud of them. Guessing you googled part numbers and scoured sites for one? An alternative might be a gently used one there should be plenty of those around.
-
The one I picked up ain't much better. Kinda rough and you can see a slight curve to the blade so it looks like someone might have been wacking things that don't move. Savable tho ... a stout piece of flat steel for a reversible scraper blade would be slicker than cat crap on linoleum and it may come to that. They coulda used a bit thicker material for the blade on the 50 inchers like a Simplecity but it is what it is.

I have a 520H 73501, 5904080 and am trying to find a new switch. the 111216 switch has been superceded by 103990 switch and frankly im lost. The B spade on my switch has just about fallen off and id like to find something local instead of ordering it from Toro. Are there any other switches that cross reference to this one? If not what switch do i need?
