Torino 14 #1 Posted September 20, 2012 Just picked up a 520xi. This one has a limp though. The hydro has a leak. Must be pretty bad, had right much fluid on my trailer floor. It runs good, has 711 hours. Came with a snow blade and deck. Picked it up for 350. Figured for that price I could keep the blade for my 520H and sell the rest if I could not fix it. Will the blade fit my 520? I have never worked on a hydro. Do you think an average shadtree can handle it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRE1992 135 #2 Posted September 20, 2012 You STOLE IT. I think you should sell it to me for $500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torino 14 #3 Posted September 20, 2012 Good. I needed to steal one for a change. I seem to miss all the deals. I want know about selling it until I know further about the trans, but I will keep you in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krazy_horse 59 #4 Posted September 20, 2012 Nice looking tractor, I think I would spray the tranny with engine cleaner then take it to the self car wash and clean the trans. then you could tell for sure where the leak comes from and then go from there. Could be something simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #5 Posted September 20, 2012 Agreed you got a great deal, and do the power wash thing and see if it's just a fitting or line, heck the filter maybe leaking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackC 617 #6 Posted September 20, 2012 Those are nice. You may just need to tighten something. That would be the deal of the century if so. You may get the Top Snag award unless someone can beat it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torino 14 #9 Posted September 20, 2012 He had a shop quote him 2000 to fix it. He did not know for sure what was wrong with it. I will clean it up and see if I can tell where it is coming from. Does this tractor use the same Eaton as a 520? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #10 Posted September 20, 2012 No it does not use the same trans as the 520, I think it is a Eaton 1100 but the case I know is not the same. where are you located? I have a local repair place that has a XI tractor they are parting out, not sure what they would want for the trans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torino 14 #12 Posted September 20, 2012 I went out and took a better look. Looks like to me it is leaking out of the wheel hub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
