Androssman 1 #1 Posted March 4, 2019 How on earth does the attach-a-matic work with other attachments? I have a 520H but I have no idea the year of it which is another question of mine is how do I find the year. I am just wondering how you put implements on OTHER than the mower deck.

WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #2 Posted March 4, 2019 There is usually a decal under the seat with the exact model and serial number, Now this could be missing or painted over, the 520H was first introduced in 1988 and production ran till 1997, 88-89 had straight front axles 1990-newer have the swept forward front axle to accommodate 60" mower decks, as far as the attach-a-matic goes there's the front one where the mule drive (deck idler pulleys) go as well as a snow thrower/blower, the mid one of course for the mower deck and 2stage blower then there's the clevis hitch for rear attachments like a Brinly plow, then the read axle bracket/hitch for the snow/dozer blade and tiller, what you really need are the owner's manuals for the tractor and implements. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,083 #5 Posted March 4, 2019 The Attach A Matic system has been around for a few decades and several implements like cultivators and the early design of the Mid Mount Grader Blade work with it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,784 #6 Posted March 4, 2019 Yes see if you can get us some model numbers of the tractor and attachments and we'll see if we can get you some manuals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,023 #8 Posted March 4, 2019 to the It looks like Jeff and Lane have answered your questions on model year and standard implement attachment. You will find many DIYers using the front attach-a-matic to mount generators, ice cream freezers, cut off saws, wood splitters and for us old timers with stiff necks that prevent us from see what's behind the tractor. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Androssman 1 #9 Posted March 4, 2019 Thank you the input, I will find the year and post some pictures of it. My model does have the 60" mower deck, so I think it's a 1996 model. Also I will look for an owners manual for the tractor so I can educate myself on the attach a matic 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
