So jimt1971 was cruising the fb marketplace last week when he came across what he knew was an xi, but no idea what model...the description was toro riding mower.  He spent the next week trying to message the guy with no luck.  Finally he looked up they guy and saw the post on his homepage as well, and left a comment.  Long story short he doesn't use messenger, but does text.  So Jimt1971 communicates with the guy and made arrangements to pick up today, well the plans changed and he told us Friday night or Saturday morning only...we werr going to a show on Saturday so Friday at 5:30 we grab the 5x8 trailer and make the 2 hour trip down to get the tractor.  We go over and look at it, and everything works, and sounds good too, just needs a good greasing and some small adjustments.  Also need to see about getting a new deck.

Back in January I picked up a rougher 522xi, it needs work, but I could not pass up on the deal either...so now we have a pair of xi's!!

 

Have the tins for the sides but am missing a seat and the front grill, but it has a 22hp kohler

I hear the 52" deck has the best cut of all the xi decks...IDK as I had a 48" and a 60" which cut really good.

I have five hours into this tractor so far and I found a broken shaft on the side of the frame for the hydro pedal. I am used to my 520 and I keep looking for the motion lever. Hopefully once I weld the shaft and lube everything up it will stop when I release the pedal. Currently using the parking brake to stop it.

JimT1971 put the 522xi's deck under the 518xi, and he says the deck is nice and quiet and does a good job!! So happy it mows nice!!
