Mt Zion 520H 43 #1 Posted April 15, 2017 Hello brothers and sisters. Recently moved from Bronx NY to Clearfield PA to give my family a better life.. Especially my daughter. I purchased a 520H from someone on craigslist after reading alot on lawn mowers vs garden tractors and such prior to shopping around. I have just over 2 acres with slope and wanted to get the best i could within the right price. I'll see if i can post pics after i figure things out on this forum. Everything works and shes not bad looking. Clock says 223 on it.. Trans oil looks clean but engine oil is black. I plan to freshen everything up regardless. Some wires look like they were clipped and some bypassed.. Will have to find the right schematic and see what was done.. But again.. Seems like all works. Lol. Welp.. That's all for now. Stay blessed! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,684 #2 Posted April 15, 2017 The 520 is a great worker and will do a great job or mowing your 2 acres and a lot more chores. Let us know what year it is and we can upload the manual from this site. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
