    Help me id this

    I have a 2520 from 1971. It was my wife's grandfather's. I found 2 of the items in the pic at the house today. Seems like a tractor part. Maybe a frame rail support? Does anyone know what it is?

    2520 Pump Alignment

    How long do the bushings typically last? I have replaced them twice in 5 years. I don't farm. I just use it around my land for odd jobs so use it for a few weeks then sits for a few months.

    2520 Pump Alignment

    I have a 1970 2520 with a 148 loader and the hydraulic pump is misaligned to the crankshaft. It seems about .020 out by eye with a straight edge. It is angled up like there is a pivot point somewhere toward the middle or front of the engine and it is bent up. I went to shim the pump frame...

    93A hoe vs 2520 Ag

    What about a smaller 1000 lb backhoe? Something digging 6.5' deep. Reason i am not wanting a whole machine is that i had to fix mine to get it going. Its reliable now. If i buy used again then i have to fix that and/or risk breakdowns. If i get a hoe my thinking is i can use it for odd jobs once...

    93A hoe vs 2520 Ag

    Been looking at hoes to dig a pond with. I have the chance to buy a 93A. It weighs 3000 lbs. and digs 13'8". I would build a box under my 2520 out of 4x4 tube and mount it to the 148 loader mount point. I woul build a frame at the back to mount the hoe to the box so not using the 3 pt at all...

    2520 coolant system cleanup

    Thanks Tim. I was wondering why I could not find any freeze plugs. I will take your advice. I have a cheapo pressure washer that should do the job. I ordered all my parts today and added to the list the flexible hose in the hydraulic reservoir. I am guessing that is where the oil in front of the...

    2520 coolant system cleanup

    I have my tractor apart. Radiator and thermostat are out. I did this because I was running it a couple weeks ago and I turned the rpm down and jumped off to move some stuff around for a few minutes and it stalled. When I went to start it, it didn't want to start. Waited a bit and it started. 10...

    Loud Hydraulics

    You guys were spot on. That was it. The half clamps were a little beat up, but I reused them. It's a wonder that my father-in-law didn't notice how loud it was. It's so much quieter now. It's probably like gaining weight. You don't notice it on someone you see every day, but when you haven't...

    Rims stuck!

    I finally got them off. I borrowed the torches from work, but the acetylene tank was almost empty, so I could not get much heat. I ended up breaking the head off the square side. I had already drilled up into the bolt from the thread side so I used my die grinder and chewed the thing down inside...

    Rims stuck!

    OK, another question and update. I drilled thru one bolt past where it was engaged in the wheel. I increased drill size till I contacted the cast iron. I put a drift in the pilot hole and hit it with a 3 lb hammer and it still wont give. Now I'm getting frustrated. I ordered an ingersol rand...

    Rims stuck!

    I'm getting all new bolts. I've gone this far so what's s little more right? Just trying to decide if I can do it without buying torches. I'm hosing with penatrant since Wednesday. I think it makes a difference. Ill try my 5 lb hammer again tomorrow.
