Schrec050584 2 #1 Posted September 10, 2018 I need two dust caps that fit front wheels on a 520h toro wheelhorse. It looks like it is about 2in in diameter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schrec050584 2 #3 Posted September 10, 2018 I looked and i dont think that one is right. I need one that slips over. Not one the presses into the hub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,796 #4 Posted September 11, 2018 Do you have a Maroon 520 with straight axle ? If so, you need a dust cap that is used on many models of Wheel Horses and can be found on ebay, through Toro, or here https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro/mowers-lawn-garden-tractor/31-20oe01-520-h-toro-520-h-garden-tractor-1988/wheels-and-tires/ Cleat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WVHillbilly520H 10,376 #6 Posted September 11, 2018 You need to actually measure it, then you can go to Napa/Advance Auto (or such) and get a "Dorman" brand replacement...the center one looks to be the closest according to my memory, Jeff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,796 #7 Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Maroon is the colour of the decals on the early models like this. The close one has a swept axle with dust caps like a trailer hub has. The upper / back one has a straight axle and little plastic dust caps that snap onto a washer holding the wheel on. Later models had black decals like this.

Schrec050584 2 #8 Posted September 11, 2018 Yes mine has the swept axle then. So i need the washer and the cap. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,796 #9 Posted September 11, 2018 If you have the swept axles, you can get a dust cap, and bearings for that matter anyplace that sells trailer parts. Just take the one from the other side if possible and match it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schrec050584 2 #10 Posted September 11, 2018 I would but mine had no dust caps or washers. They had just the coderpins and had the chrome hub caps over that on both sides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,796 #11 Posted September 11, 2018 If you can post a picture showing your front wheels up close we can figure out what you need. Cleat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schrec050584 2 #12 Posted September 11, 2018 I added the retainer with a set screw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,796 #13 Posted September 11, 2018 Now that does not look right. Is your retainer on a threaded shaft ? If so you should have a castle nut and cotter key. It should look like this. This is what is inside your front wheels. This is what your wheel should look like with hub cap installed. Cleat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schrec050584 2 #14 Posted September 11, 2018 Mine is not threaded. Its a 3/4in shaft and has a hole for a coderpin. I added the retainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 3,029 #15 Posted September 11, 2018 Looks like the standard 3/4" WH axle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skipper 1,789 #17 Posted September 11, 2018 You just need a standard rubber dust cab. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt-NEPA 755 #18 Posted September 11, 2018 The 88 and 89 520H used a different axle than the later ones that had the two tapered roller bearings (Cleat's Pictures). These 88-89 units had a simple shaft with a cotter pin to hold the bearings, washers, and wheel on. The part number for the cap is 111951 I think the 520-HC used the tapered roller bearings. I wonder if the standard rubber WH caps would fit. Not sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,796 #19 Posted September 11, 2018 OK, you have the straight axle so you can order the parts here https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro/mowers-lawn-garden-tractor/31-20oe01-520-h-toro-520-h-garden-tractor-1988/wheels-and-tires/ You will need 2 of items #13, #14, and #15 to do both sides. The flat washer # 15 is a special outside diameter for the cap #13 to snap onto. Your wheels will look like this when done. Cleat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schrec050584 2 #20 Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks guys i appreciate the help. Here is a pic of my 520h. What year would you say it is. Sucks because the serial number under the seat is gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 1,789 #21 Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Perhaps the engine tag can give a clue? Oh and your rear tires are on upside down, in case you haven't notised Edited September 11, 2018 by Skipper 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt-NEPA 755 #22 Posted September 11, 2018 The joystick, brake lever, and drive belt tension release look like a 1988 or 1989. The hood looks to be from a later 520H. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Kurt said, that is why the confusion around the decal colours. You have an 88 or 89. When ordering parts you can use model number 31-20OE01. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt-NEPA 755 #24 Posted September 11, 2018 Another give away for the early 1988 and 1989, They had two switches on the idiot light panel. One for test and the other for the lights. Later years only had the light switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
