Dad's 520 jd

53 super H

Member
Posted message on JD site with no replies asking for pointers on cleaning and putting kit in carb.
Anyone have any tips or special things to look for.
 
53, as mentioned, the JD cast carbs have some passages that get crusty from sitting, some of the passages are not real visible, often referred to as "the secret passages", The best reccomendation I have is to google up Roberts Carb repair, they have a great video available for not a whole lot of money, and with the vid come the proper size drill bits for all the passages, we used to send our JD carbs out, got the vids for both the single and duplex carbs and the amount of money saved from doin the rebuilds our selves far outweighs the cost of the vids!
Also, just in case you are not aware, the 520 has an oil pressure fed fuel bowl, well worth the time when you do a carb to pull that apart, clean out the veins and replace the 2 diaphrams in the upper part of the shut off assembly, they break down and cause fuel issues too.
Stage one Super H huh? us too, lol some things are alot simpler on the red ones...carbs for one thing...but I guess I"d rather replace the clutch on the 520! Pete
 
I can rebuild the Super H carb in no time but this one is something else, along with anything you touch on a JD
 
LOL they aren't all bad...we have several of each as well as some other colors, I can say that there are a few things that are certainly simpler on an IH; radiator replacement and carbs come to mind 1st, but as mentioned when it's time to replace a clutch the JD is the winner hands down, and we all know how much maintaining those "super" discc brakes need to keep working up to snuff, JD brakes are basically bulletproof!
 
Popin John does a very good job on carbs. Those Duplex carbs need the steel balls removed and replaced for a thorough cleaning.
 
I'll throw out another carb rebuilder to you. Branson Enterprise or just check out their web site www.bransonenterprises.com. I have had them rebuild some carbs I couldn't get cleaned and they all have came back like new. Your mileage may vary.
