It's not a clone, it's a real 520 with a different transmission. Just a little modifying here and there.

@cleat  awesome piece ! that open frame would be a simple spot to add a steel fuel line , cutting down on fuel hose breakdown / debris , leaving just the end connections for clear to and from tank , filters . also been using Lucas climbing gear lube , very quiet , good luck with all your ideas , Pete

Or you can ADD the bearing if’n you only have a flat plate and no bearing. On the 854 the plate bolt spacing matched the beariing bolt spacing for the used bearing I found.

Installed a PTO pivot plate assembly from an early 520H with the belt guide welded onto it.
