    lots of gas in JD 520 crankcase

    Well replacing the diaphragms did the trick...runs wonderfully now. Thanks everyone for the help and advice!

    lots of gas in JD 520 crankcase

    Well would a good approach then be to replace the diaphragm pieces and then put some gas in the gas tank--but leaving the crankcase oil plug off--and seeing if you"re still getting gas leaking into there? If not, we assume that the bowl/diaphragm was the problem, put in new oil, and give it a go?

    lots of gas in JD 520 crankcase

    I have a JD 520 gas tractor that ran well for several years, but sat without starting since early 2013. Well I started it up recently and it only started with great difficulty, and then had some pretty nasty backfires. I posted on this site and following some advice, drained the crankcase...

    520 gas 'overflow' tube and backfiring

    Well we drained the crankcase and there was almost 4 gallons of gas in there :shock: I ordered the standard sediment bowl diaphragm kit and will replace that. It's shocking to think of that much gas entering the system...is the faulty diaphragm the only thing I should be checking/looking...

    520 gas 'overflow' tube and backfiring

    Hi everyone, Newbie question here. I have a 520 gas that has run pretty reliably for several years. I hadn't been able to run it since Nov 2013 and today I finally got around to starting it. It wouldn't start and wouldn't start so I pulled and cleaned the plugs, but still no luck...

    Adding coulters to Dearborn 10-156?

    So the plow worked OK for you without the coulters? I just bought the plow cheap from a neighbor from his scrap pile and haven't had a chance to use it yet. Some folks on another forum suggested the coulters were usually important to have. My soil is very fine sandy loam and doesn't stick or...

    Adding coulters to Dearborn 10-156?

    Hello! I have a Dearborn 10-156 plow that I bought without coulters (see pic). I"d like to add some. I"m not doing a restoration, so any coulter setup will do. But someone told me that adding coulters to this plow will be difficult since the coulter stem is 1 1/8 which is difficult to find...

    JD 350 9' sickle mower good choice for JD 60 or 520?

    Great stalls James! Those are a clever idea... I think in my neck of the woods in Wyobraska I'd have some issues with these since I'm out on the prairie and lots of our moisture comes in "sideways" with the wind :) I have room in my shed for my tractors but the sickle bar mower might be a...

    JD 350 9' sickle mower good choice for JD 60 or 520?

    Hi James, Thanks for your comments and great pictures! So when the cutter bar is "folded" in behind the tractor, about how far off the ground is the end (how high does a barn door opening need to be)? Thanks! "Transporting is no problem either; the cutter bar "folds" over behind the...

    JD 350 9' sickle mower good choice for JD 60 or 520?

    Hey thanks for the feedback...hopefully if I were to get a decent mower I'd get out there sooner and keep that stuff from growing up to 6'! (LOL) Your picture brings to me Leroy's good point I hadn't considered about clearing the barndoors. About how far off the ground is the end of that...

    JD 350 9' sickle mower good choice for JD 60 or 520?

    Hello! 'Hoping for a little friendly advice. The weeds are getting the better of me on about 10 acres of field margin and waste area on my place and I'm looking for something better than my current 5' rotary mower. The rotary cuts pretty well when the weeds/grass are small, but if I don't...
