Ok I had the same thing happen but got lucky and the piece backed out. Oil kept it free and a awl worked. I can talk smart tho the tranny was out and much easier to get at. Any way you can get in there with say a Dremel and cut a slot in for a small screwdriver?

My first truck had one of those mounted on the inside of the fender well. Two rods ran directly from the pump and through the dashboard with knobs on them. One for up and down and the other for power angle.

Have coaxed a few out. Now that the nut is off the screw can be tapped in to loosen it up. The nut has been pulling the screw out until it broke. A sharp awl will usually turn it out if the screw is loose.

2nd on the citrus paint remover. I've done it. That stuff isn't very strong and will remove the spray paint much quicker than it will the old paint. But keep in mind if you leave it on too long it will burn into the old paint so do small portions at a time and rinse with water.

Any dune buggy owners out there?

My brother had several Baja Bugs growing up. I learned how to drive on the beach in one of them when I was 14 years old. Beach’s here are not hard like down south, they require 4 wheel drive. So learning with a bug taught me a lot about driving in soft sand. Rear tires were usually 33x12.50’s aired down to about 20 lbs. When I bought my first truck it was 4 wheel drive so driving on the beach was a breeze for me. Having 4 wheel drive doesn’t stop people with it from getting stuck all the time, especially on the ocean beaches. Here’s a picture of me on my brand new Work Horse winter of 84-85 when I was 14. Notice my brothers 2 bugs in the background, the second is behind my sisters dodge Omni! - Yesterday

For the past half century there has been almost no similarity between the race cars and the ones you might drive. I think that is the reason that NASCAR fans have lost interest.

I'd want to save the decals, not planning to do a complete strip/blast/repaint, the finish is already shot so new decals would look out of place.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

This one needs the deep offset rims. And , yes I did drill the rims. 7/16ths to 1/2 didn’t take much effort. -
I do too, my 1948 Ford had a Chevrolet engine, transmission and frame, best Ford I ever owned.

I bought a pump from Northern Hydraulics since the original was NLA. Find the specifications for the original and buy the one that is close.

A "remote" handle can be connected to that hole in the handle with a rod. I only know both guys that sold them told me Jeep. I did see one of those valves before that had a switch integrated on it to activate the 12v Starter. One of the valves I have has 2 valves connected together but the rest is the same and exactly like yours

I bought a pair of tires and wheels that supposedly were on a 520, the tires were the correct size, brand and tread, but the offset was too little. I too wonder if there were differences early on, perhaps I need to download some of the early owners manuals. -

Ive come to the conclusion that not all 520's had the wider rims must be a year model thing. Just curious did you have to drill rims for the 1/2" lug studs? -

Swapped out tires/rims on the 520. Don’t know why but the original deep offset rims were not on this unit. The previous owner had spacers between the rims and hubs. I replaced the Sears 23x10.50-12 tires/rims with a set of 24x12-12 tires/rims. Also Sears, don’t recall how I got them. Since these rims were not offset enough I installed a 1” spacer on each hub. The tires just barely cleared the mower deck enough to install without removing the deck first. picture #4 is with one of each size. If I push snow with this tractor tis winterI may have to swap back in order to install a set of chains. -
Likely I have one here.

Heat gun. Start slow n easy with the warm up on one end and increase the heat while tugging on the decal. There will be a temperature point that allows easy pulling removal of the decal without damage to surrounding METAL areas. Plastics like shift knobs or dash plates must be closely monitored during the process.
