Posimoto 5 #1 Posted June 25, 2010 Hello all, After pushing a self propelled lawn mower for the past 24 years I thought it was time for a rider, after some research I decided on a Wheel Horse. This past week I found a one owner well maintained 520H. Along with the tractor came a 2 stage thrower, weights, chains, dethacher, sweeper, owner manuals, tractor cover, and some extra filters and belts. I also found a 212-5 that runs great but has some electric issues I need to squire away (ordered an ignition switch). Picked up the lot for $1000 and feel it was money well spent.

PPGman 5 #7 Posted June 25, 2010 Those are some real nice looking tractors there. I think you struck a great deal! I have a feeling that push mower is going to feel pretty lonely this summer! Have fun with your Wheel Horses.....they're great machines! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posimoto 5 #9 Posted June 26, 2010 Thanks for the warm welcome, Changed the engine oil and greased the chassis when I got home today. It was the first time I enjoyed cutting the lawn I even cut my father in-law's lawn next doors. Note to self, don't put it in reverse with the pto engaged on a RD. My father in-law's lawn is dry as a bone and I was covered in clippings. All is good with the WH :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
