Jerry77 1,218 #1 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Well, it has taken me awhile to get this posted - old age, illness in family etc. . Don't really have a good progression of pix, but I know that any pix are welcome ( I too, like to look at the various pix )...My son did the heavy liftiing on this swap, and it went really well..I used some of the tips that I had read about here on RS, and appreciated them all.. I just have one or two to add: the steel hydraulic line on the pump needed a little more room so we cut out a little sheet metal where it contacted it.....per bmsgaffer instructions I left the filter loose while filling with oil - it never did run out on the floor and it filled up nicely..no comparison to the eaton 700 - it will now pick the front wheels off the ground at about 3/4 throttle...so, so strong...again, many thanks to richmondred01 ( I bought the unit from and he went the extra mile to get it to me ) and the others who chimed in...if anyone is interested, I made a seat prop out of simple 1/4 in steel rod that works really well..I really like this 516 -- now I need one of Matt's hydro pedal kits and it will be the berries..really good bunch of guys here on the Red Square..keep up the good work... Edited January 31, 2017 by Jerry77 Question : the yellow handle screwdriver is holding one end of a spring - does anyone know where that end goes??? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,138 #3 Posted January 31, 2017 Is the spring item 56 is this illustration? You can enlarge it and see where it hooks if it is. https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro/mowers-lawn-garden-tractor/31-16oe01-516-h-toro-516-h-garden-tractor-1988/clutch-brake-and-motion-control-linkage/ The 516 shares a parts list with the 520-H and this is the 520-H/1100 page but I think these parts are the same for both. Garry Found it in a parts list in the manuals here 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmsgaffer 2,046 #7 Posted February 1, 2017 Glad it all worked for you! (you will be looking for that hydro lift sooner than you think!) Never too many pictures, don't worry. And I hope you recover quickly! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
