starting a herd
By CB520HC
hello all Ifigured its time to show off the horses that I own and tell a little about my Frankenhorse. My first one was the C-175 auto with original series 1 kt17 bought it for $100 "running" , driving and mowing. Little did Iknow that it had a broken connecting rod on the front cylinder I found this out due to going over it and checking plugs found the front plug soaked in fuel, and when Iremoved the piston from the jug the crank had a narly nick in it that Icould see. So after crawling all over this forum Ifound out that my best option was to go with wither a series 2 or swap to the classic k341. Later that week Ifound a guy not too far away from me selling one in good shape running with starter and carb that came off either a 416-8 or a c-160 andafter some custom plates and stab link bushings as vibration pads tractor was operational again and the 42" SD deck that it wears got me hooked instantly on having a horse addiction. I used this tractor to cut 6 acres of land (4 separate properties) and it did it flawlessly could not get that motor to bog at all even in the heaviest grass i could get it into, in the pictures that are attached you'll find the tractor after the swap and right after a bath but other than that i haven't changed anything other than belts and fluids about a month after this project was completed Iwas looking to upgrade once again to the larger 500 series and i found a 520HC with only 648 hours on theclock it also hadthe 60" deck that was in fantastic shape stole the tractor for $800 then right before Christmas Ifound a 56" snow blade chains and blower with custom rear weight bracket all for $500. So to wrap this up Ihave the fever and I'mhoping to add a few more in the years to comegonna be cruising marketplace this spring. Looking to add to the herd.
Charging Issues
By JNMULL
Good morning, I have been a long time reader, but a first time poster.
I have a 1988 Wheel Horse 520HC Tractor. Does not charge, and I have to assume that it is due to the fuse at the front of the engine being blown. However if I replace the fuse that is located at the front of the engine,the wire at the voltage regulator will get hot, start to smoke as it melts the wires insulation.
I have not started testing anything yet, as I just have stumbled upon this issue and was wondering if anyone else has had the same style of problem and what kind of repair did you have to perform.
Thanks.1988 520-HC will not start when hot
By cafoose
My 1988 520-HC (I did get lots of snow that's an old picture) starts up great at first but after running it awhile it will not start back up. It cranks over fine it just does not start. I sprayed starting fluid in the carburetor and that does not help. When I let it sit for a few hours and come back to it, it starts up fine. Today I was cleaning up some snow and it worked great while it was running. I ran it out of gas earlier today and when I filled it up it did not start until a few hours later. I put it back in the shed when I was finished with it and when I shut it off I tried starting it back up in a couple minutes and it did not even attempt to fire up. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong with it?
