moe1965 749 #1 Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I was at work today and a snowblower that looked familiar to me was l@@king at me from behind a garage. The home owner came out of his house and we started chatting. I asked him if that was a wheel horse snowblower. He said yes I asked him if he wanted to sell it. We went behind the garage and it was attached to a Toro H520. He said if I wanted it I could have it. Said it ran a year ago but I have my doubts. Any how I think I can harvest some parts off it. I have older modle wheel horse's 71 and 73. I cant find a modle number on it so i have no idea what year it would be. Anyone have a idea? Also is there a bypass for the pump somewhere so I don't ruen the pump pushing it around not running?

Ed Kennell 39,176 #6 Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Free is good. Looks like the motion control is on the steering shaft. That makes it 1990 and later. The 1100 eaton hydro can be rolled w/o damage. Just move it slowly. There is no bypass tow valve on the 1100. Is that a winch on the front? That may mean the hyd lift was not working. Look around for the cab...I see part of the frame. Looks like tiller pulleys under the frame. Edited March 6, 2018 by Ed Kennell 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,296 #7 Posted March 6, 2018 Definitely some good parts at the very least. Good save Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moe1965 749 #8 Posted March 6, 2018 There is a winch on the front and I was hoping that the blower was a older modle and was rigged up to work on a newer tractor. I don't know much about hydro units but I'm willing to dive on and learn. I sure I'll have lots of questions. I'm going to see if I can get it up and running this weekend and decide what I'm going to do with it from there 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WVHillbilly520H 10,374 #10 Posted March 6, 2018 I believe someone went to lots of trouble installing a winch when what I see missing is the lift arm to to the thrower from the rock shaft , or possibly they wanted independent front and mid/rear lift, and yes what Ed said try finding the rest of the cab, and as far as the engine goes if it doesn't run there's always transplants available, Jeff.

groundhog47 347 #12 Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) ?? "Also is there a bypass for the pump somewhere so I don't ruen the pump pushing it around not running?" My two cents and opinions are like ..... Eaton transmission if as stated is: Friend Pacer Bill and I picked up an Eaton power WH in Texas, hunted for bypass, never found, drug to trailer, and loaded. On restoration Pacer found it to be undamaged Eaton wise. For free and the goodies it's definetly worth the drag out for certain.

The Gman 476 #13 Posted March 6, 2018 Ok then..... if I counted all the parts usable I'd run out of your fingers and toes..... mine.... and everyone else's.My 520 has a blown forward cylinder I'm not looking forward to attacking. If that engine will come back to life it's a mega score, not mention part after part after part. Running out of fingers and toes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jellyghost 378 #14 Posted March 7, 2018 Clevis hitch is probably worth the drag out too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
