520H Frame Conversion

Recommended Posts

screech

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!

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).

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.

Clutch and brake linkages will not be the same but they can be made or sourced from a 300/400 series parts tractor.

Have you considered keeping the Hydro and just installing the 16hp Kohler. It should still be a beast.
