Wheel Horse 520H

Just a quick video of my 97 Toro Wheel Horse 520H

[@garyblair3426]

Man, that's a nice mower. I wish I'd got one before they went away. Thanks for sharing.

Great review thanks!

Thanks !

Nice Wheel Horse!! I just missed purchasing this exact model yesterday,,,bummer!!!! It was in very good original condition as yours. It also came with the correct snowblower, and perfect condition mower deck, as well as a full hydraulic push blade all for $2500.00 A real bargain for what it was and what it came with and its like new condition and low 400hrs...What new "tractor" are you going to buy that even comes close to that Toro in that price range? Nothing.lol! I do own a JD318 with PS and hydraulic ports and it has the 18hp Onan engine. She is getting tired though and using some oil and has over 2000hrs. now. I want to rebuild the Onan, but it may be easier I have found out to just repower it with a VanGuard engine. I'm a IH Cub Cadet fan as well and own a very nice 1977 IH Cub 1650...I want to build a FEL for it someday,,,its such a beast!! Have fun with that Toro..

I should have kept mine, it was a really good tractor

Nice tractor I’m still looking for a diaphragm for the carb on my 95-98 spec 520h but I’ll have it running in no time it was my uncles

[@Art397R]

That was the best tractor I ever owned, post a video of yours when you get it going !

@@Art397R will do I plan on fully restoring mine I can’t wait to use the mower deck I’m curious to see how good it cuts in the different heights on my lawn I’m going to play around with the cutting height until I get the right one

@@Art397R It’s a prized possession in my fleet and it’s never leaving it’s going to have a special spot in the barn someday I’m going to find my grandpa’s old D1 60 that he traded in New York State for a brand new John Deere and bring that one home to and restore it I have the original Dump cart for it Because he kept that but he got rid of the tractor it had a snow blower mower deck and scraper blade and I will also do videos on that one as well once I find it if it’s still out there I have faith that is still out there though

@@Art397R hi man I have a wheel horse 520 , I want to change the oil , do you have any videos on how to change the oil ? also what model oil filter I need ??

[@Art397R]

@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 Hey sorry man, I don’t have any videos of an oil change. I only owned that machine for maybe 4 months and that was like 5 years ago.

Hi, how do tou manually release, thank you.

[@algorel4763]

What great machine, what is the design history of it? Did Toro or Wheel Horse design it? Is it a Lawn or Garden Tractor?

[@donnielocklear7160]

I need to know how to change the belt for the motor pulley on a wheel horse

[@CrisisGuildWOW]

Deck is rear discharge?

[@Art397R]

Yea it was a 42 inch rear discharge

[@northernsafetyandtraining8741]

how does this go in reverse

[@Art397R]

It had a lever on the dash that you pulled in the direction you wanted to travel

[@antiquetractorgarage3123]

i honestly think it dont have 21 hours on it unless it sat outside forever

[@Art397R]

I bought it from the original owner who left it outside since day one. I thought the same thing when I first saw it also

[@Pack044]

Can you pull with these? If so how much

[@russgould707]

I move my all steel deck 18 foot tilt bed car trailer around with mine.

[@timkneisley3445]

i have a wheel horse 518 h

[@yamaharaptor01able]

So do i,1989👍 I really wanted a 520 but the 518 was as close as i got. I had thoughts of selling it once but chickened out after 15 or so inquiries in one day🤷‍♂️ Fair to say i still have it and won't relist it again

[@pureblood3127]

supposedly the twenty horse Onan is good for 3000 hours , better go ahead and order a carb rebuild kit for it before they stop making them hahaha

[@Art397R]

Funny you say that, the tractor started with this annoying surging issue. I better get on that carb kit soon.

[@pureblood3127]

Art397R mine did too !!! They came with a servicable carb and a none serviceable one !! Yeah guess Witch one mine had !! lol So I bought I new serviceable one off eBay and also got a back up carb kit

[@pureblood3127]

Art397R oh I forgot to mention mine only had 350 hours on it ! But it was surging at idol and running rich , black smoke coming out of the exhaust until I would throttle up

[@pureblood3127]

Bad ass, engine evidently not so bad ass carb ! Just a heads up for you 👍

[@Art397R]

Thats really strange, why in the world would they make a non serviceable and a serviceable one. I'm hoping just a good carb cleaning will do the trick but will see. Still way to cold and snowy to mess with it.
