Shynon 7,470 #1 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) I picked up my second 520 awhile back from @DeterminingFactor that had no spark. Changed out the 9 pin connector from @rmaynard as the red wire was already routed around the 9 pin. Found the coil was bad and replaced. Motor runs good and now on to the next step. PO said hydro was leaking I think I found the problem so tomorrow I will open up the hydro and replace all seals and gaskets. Plan on wet sanding all the tins and repaint, new decals will need to be ordered. Now if I could only convince @ACman to release the rights to the wheel a matic decals, other wise it may end up being the patriotic series decals. This one may take a while as still working 10hr days and Saturdays. I'll try to post as much as I can. Also picked up an Ark loader for it. Need to build subframe, new hoses and modify a few other things Edited September 3, 2017 by Shynon Add pics 14 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,624 #2 Posted September 3, 2017 @Vinylguy has my blessing to sell the 520Wheel-a-Matic decal set especially if he can make some $ and keep fellow members happy. I had the idea but he pulled it right out of my head and did the hard work . Terry and Lola for supporting our hobby 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shynon 7,470 #3 Posted September 3, 2017 Thanks to @Vinylguy and @ACman for the creation and release of this great looking set of decals. Now Minnesota will have one and maybe even two 520 Wheel-a-matics. Terry let me know how I can order a set then maybe I can be sent with the toy tractor you are working on . Thanks Again for all you do 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shynon 7,470 #6 Posted September 11, 2017 Had some time this week to open up the differential and fix the leak, put in new seals. Thought I would wet sand the tins, but no had to blast some of them. Put some primer on may paint later this week. Need to get with @Vinylguy and get some decals ordered. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
