I honestly don't have much interest in any other green and yellow thing, unless if it is quite a bit bigger, but like you said, it's one of those I can respect as well, so I jumped at it, and she's not the prettiest, but seems to be one helluva machine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 140 H3s are great machines. The later ones have the better transmissions in them, as should your '73. If you aren't already, register at www.wfmachines.com (WFM). A lot of great info for the older JDs there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #921 Posted January 31, 2017 That seat is original.I think I can get that seat back together as the cover just pulled out and the trim needs to be set back. In fact this entire machine is original. I need to run the numbers but it is an 88 or 89' 520 HC. Been sitting inside for at least 5 years as the po passed and his son sold it. Has a very nice 60" deck too. I am sure this one will clean up real nice! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #924 Posted February 1, 2017 Spent a little time today after work and got fuel line changed, cleaned carb (was pretty clean) and replaced battery that came with the purchase. It fired right up and ran smooth. The problem that I have now is that I broke off the plastic nipple on top of the fuel pump. I tested the pump and it works great. Does anyone had this issue and fixed the pump? I believe it can be tapped and install a small nipple. I am not sure what the size I need. Any help would be great. I posted pictures of the tractor and deck tags. Based on the numbers this one is a 1989. Now I have a 1988 and 1989 HC. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,043 #925 Posted February 1, 2017 I don't know about tapping them, but I have a good used onan fuel pump for sale that you can have for $15 to your door if you want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
