leeave96 487 #1 Posted August 11, 2020 I bought this 520H probably about 10 years ago for parts, mainly the front axle. I had the idea I would swap it into my 314-8. The right front tire/rim was crushed by something (you see the replacement in the pic). Before I rolled it off my trailer in it’s outdoor in the weather parking spot, I figured I’d put some gas down the carb and a battery and see if it would fire. To my surprise it did - for a quick few seconds. So it’s been setting, sometimes with tarps and other times without - on the shelf. i needed to get another WH going and decided I’d try this one. New gas line, fuel filters, replacement front rim/tire, engine and transmission fluids and filters, spark plugs (air cleaner was good) and it fired off. Put a 42” rear discharge deck on and mowed some grass today. I tell my wife that these unrepaired tractors I have laying around are like good books on the shelf with chapters yet to be read. The 520H w/ 709 hrs came off the shelf for some reading this week...👍 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutbum70 857 #3 Posted August 12, 2020 I keep thinking I would like a 520 to play with, but knowing nothing about tech's and the price they ask for them in my area I have never picked one up. Every time I see one advertised up to a couple three hours away they are normally asking $800 to $1500 and they are usually pretty rough looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
