WHX?? 48,784 #2 Posted March 29, 2019 Randy Only spring I can think of there is the one that holds the attach rod to one side. Others will be along to further help out and welcome. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 5,809 #4 Posted March 29, 2019 The 60" deck uses a spring loaded mule drive. If that spring breaks you will have a hard time maintaining proper belt tension. 3318-226.pdf Spring #15 The other spring in the latch itself simply holds the mule drive itself to the tractor 810623R1 1988-89 520-H 520-HC.pdf Spring #7 Cleat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randy520-8 6 #5 Posted March 29, 2019 Thank you. Just getting into wheel horses grandpa always had older model's than this. Got screwed by mtd to much figured the 520-8 is better money spent. Grease fittings and all I'm happy with my purchase so far. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randy520-8 6 #6 Posted March 29, 2019 Also anywhere on the net recommended to buy parts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 5,809 #7 Posted March 29, 2019 I have purchased a lot from these guys https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro/mowers-lawn-garden-tractor/41-20oe02-520-h-toro-520-h-garden-tractor-sn-1000001-1999999-1991/ Also I buy a lot of used parts from ebay. Just keep watching, deals pop up now and then. I also buy complete tractors locally sometimes for parts, sometimes to flip and make money to pay for my hobby. I figure that as of now I basically have my fleet of tractors free (minus my time of course) (at least that is what I tell my wife). There is also a classified section on this site with vendors that make and sell parts and decals for your machine. Cleat 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randy520-8 6 #9 Posted April 14, 2019 Spring number 15 hooks into bracket 12. where does it go on the other side? It looks like it may have went into the corner of the mule drive at least looks like where the wear of the previous spring was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
