screech 16 #1 Posted 22 hours ago I was given a non running 520H. I want to use the frame off the 520H and add a 16HP Kohler and 8 or 6 speed transmission. Will the frame match up to the 16HP Kohler and 8 or 6 speed transmission? Thank You! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 5,741 #2 Posted 22 hours ago Yes, the 520 uses the same frame as the 300 and 400 series. Some of them have a reinforcement plate where the trans bolts up but the only thing you need is the proper length bolts (just a little longer). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screech 16 #3 Posted 22 hours ago Thank You Cleat. This is the first Hydro I have had. I do not think I want to try getting the 520H going, it is very rough. Plus I have several 6 and 8 speed part tractors to pull parts off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,500 #5 Posted 7 hours ago Have you considered keeping the Hydro and just installing the 16hp Kohler. It should still be a beast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
