D_Mac 8,623 #5 Posted March 24 I would go over it thoroughly before deciding its a parts machine. You just might be surprised. I hauled one that had been sitting in weeds for decades. It did not need much to get it running again. In fact I wound up keeping it because it runs so well. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy I bought it from said it had no fire, I bet cleaning the points will fix that, but the guy said the motor smoked. The steering is locked up ?? Never ever seen that before. The axle and spindles are wore out. All I wanted was the weights ,and I am not much of a gear jamming guy. Edited March 24 by Moparfanforever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,623 #13 Posted March 24 Since you don't like jamming gears.... I picked this 875 up as a parts machine. It had a blown engine and some other issues. Well...... got an engine from @squonk, fixed what ever else it needed. Seems im allergic to parting them out. In fact, I used this 875 this morning to plow my driveway. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
