Horse Newbie 7,074 #106 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Far from perfect for sure, but I like it ! It was a lot of fun giving it a refresh after it being neglected for years. Edit: The neglect was from a PO, not me… I saved it ! Edited January 28, 2022 by Horse Newbie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,083 #107 Posted January 28, 2022 I think your choice of wheel color looks great Tim! TJ- Congratulations on the 520-8. If you take care of it, it will serve you for a long time! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #108 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) @kpinnc I plan on taking care of it I'm already trying to fix it up and I've only had it for 3 days. Edited January 28, 2022 by TJ Salyers 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Newbie 7,074 #109 Posted January 28, 2022 @TJ Salyers I chose a gloss white powder coat for the wheels, and a shiny chrome powder coat for the hub caps because the hub caps were rusty and I really didn’t want to spend the $$$$ to have them re-chromed. Used red and black paint markers to do the horse emblem and black stripe on the hub caps… That was an idea I stole from @WVHillbilly520H 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially the rear cylinder. And make sure you get an oil filter grommet to help improve airflow on that back cylinder. Part number below: 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Part number below: Oh the shroud is clean well it's never been used to mow but the Shroud is clean and thanks for the part number. I love how Air goes in the intake from the flywheel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not telling you what to do at all. Just offering opinions from seeing what happens when those Onans aren't kept cool. They are awesome engines- and it's not uncommon to see them with over 3000 hours run time. But if they aren't kept clean around the cylinders, they will throw the valve seats and self destruct. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You find all kinds on here… from pure stock to highly modified. I like mine mostly stock too, but I’m not a purist. Like on my 1994 520H, the wheels are silver stock, but I just like Gloss White on my tractor wheels. Fix it the way you like it, as long as it’s an improvement.

TJ5208 1,824 #124 Posted January 29, 2022 Is there anything I can do about this I have to pry the valve stems to get the air chuck to go on the I'm planning on filling all four tires. They all have tubes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,741 #125 Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) you thread on a tool like theses then you can pull the valve stem out further. I prefer the cable one Edited January 29, 2022 by pfrederi 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
