lynnmor 7,306 #26 Posted January 16, 2022 Before slopping oil all over the painted surfaces, try using this polish. I have brought back some weathered paint to near new condition with it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use the pads from Harbor Freight, but I am rather disappointed with their polisher. The great thing about this polish is that it is slow cutting so even an amateur will not damage the paint. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Three horses and another path.... 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe because 520s had too many gauges and electrical gizmos that failed already??? The Electrical forum here is over represented with 520s... 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #37 Posted January 20, 2022 Ok guys found out some more info it has never been used to mow or do anything else other than pull a trailer and plow snow. And it only has seven to eight hundred hours. Sounds good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJ5208 1,824 #40 Posted January 21, 2022 Hey guys I was think about a few upgrades for the 520 maybe like a 2 inch receiver hitch some new LED lights ags and tri ribs even though @Snoopy11 is going to get on his soapbox again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,627 #41 Posted January 21, 2022 @TJ Salyers good going on that, just a thought , as part of your baseline service , if you do that , verify what works , and doesn't work, especially electrical connections , that crack / split and short out, replace those connections. thorough lubrication refresh . don't wait till you have a number of issues to solve. think that drive belt added venting , close to dash area , would be a smart upgrade , pictures on this site. that rear cylinder is a regular problem , due to overheating , packed grass. aerosol lubricant spray down , will instantly start to feed and recover paint, only a suggestion . good luck with it , looks promising , pete 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJ5208 1,824 #50 Posted January 25, 2022 Would it be hard to find a frame extender because everything I put in the classifieds never do anything it just sits with no one wanting to buy it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
