    520 hydro question

    My son has an older 520 Hydro. While plowing snow during the winter a tire chain broke off a plastic fan that is exposed near the rear wheel. I am guessing that this fan helps to cool the hydraulic fluid?? How difficult is it to replace that fan? And how important is it?? Thanks for any help.

    Chipper  wood chipper...again

    I found a used Patu DC 40 manual feed chipper for sale. The owner fired it up on his Ford 7N. The tractor was just above idle and it chipped a dry 3" piece pretty well. The thing that was odd was that the hopper was low and parallel to the ground. I thought most manual feed chippers'...

    I had my first mishap with my tractor the other day. Not exactly sure but I think while I was clearing a lot full of brush I ran over a broken sappling. Whatever it was found its way up under the engine and bent the bottom of the radiator and lost most of the antifreeze. I got it home and...

    I live on a 100 acre lake and have backed my L3130 with landscape rake out into our swimming area to clean out the bottom. My question is, how much of the tractor is safe to be submerged??

    Backhoe  Backhoe boom drooping
