I'm no expert on the '80s and '90s tractors.... 417A, 520 (H or 8). Not sure what others... Being a 520 with a manual lift would make it an 8-speed which are not common. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 12,111 #17 Posted December 17, 2021 I'm amazed that while only 225 or so of these were ever made, they keep turning up almost 40 years later! And that one looks VERY good! Mine looked like it had NASCAR crashed before falling into a swamp. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If correct, it had the louvered hood but no manual lift arm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,639 #19 Posted December 17, 2021 @wh5208speed nice pick up on that ! make a regular start on anything paint starved that i pick up , with a spray lubrication of your choice feed that paint , let it settle down and then wipe it down till dry , spray it again and let it sit to soak in the lubricant , rub down till dry . you have just saved the patina , at that stage I have used 6" electric palm buffer an cleaner wax . and it pulled the paint right out ! deep shine , just an idea , sure your head is spinning over what you are going to do on your new toy, merry Christmas, pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse520H 708 #22 Posted December 17, 2021 I think the 300, 400 and 500 series all had to louvered hood. Good find, the 8 speeds are not easy to come by in my area. I want one to go with my 520H. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
