usmc041127 0 #1 Posted July 25, 2009 Hey every one I and new. I am very big in to garden machines. Ok I will confess I am a deere man. I like the cubs as well but mostly into deeres. I am on wk end freedom machines as deeremanmike. Today I bought a 520h which I have always like them machines and finaly got one for 100.00. I looks pristine but has motor issues to iron out. I am hopping to get by with rings and possible valves. It runs but smoke a tad and seems like its lugging from one of the cylinders. I am 27 yrs old and from Missouri. I have 11 JD machines 1 ariens and 1 wheelhorse now. I don't know much more to say but thanks for having me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usmc041127 0 #11 Posted July 25, 2009 I was in the marines from 2000 to 04. I live in Jefferson city Mo and would love to have some sort of garden show or something. I unloaded the horse today and confirmed my thoughts. It has 85 lbs in the back cylinder and 0 none zilch in the front. I think I am going to start pulling the motor this afternoon. I have never seen one with 0 compression so I am guessing its got to have a valve problem as well as rings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
