I have a 1520 also and just this last weekend it started to run hot with the 5' brushhog. as I read this post I thought i got screwed when I read that a 1520 was rated at 23 and 18 hp cuz the dealer said it was 35 engine and 28 pto. went back th NH site and yes it is 35 engine and 28 pto. so using the 5hp/foot of cutter would still be ok with the 5' hog. Better yet, the radiator discussions were good . didn't realize the fines could build up and not even be able to see them. will blow out rad next weekend with leaf blower. Once again TBN to the rescue.
Where did you get those hp numbers from. All the info I can find says 23 and 18. The 35 and 28 is more than my 1900 has. I have looked at several used 1520's and passed on them because of the low hp. I thought any majior horse power changes would result in a different model number. Like the 1720.

New model was called a tc-30 then it was changed to 1510 and then it came with a 35 hp engine and was called a 1520. So yes, CNH had two different trasctors with same number designation. Old 1520 was built around 1999.
