The Debby Downer ...:rolleyes: Dan mumbled something about a set screw but doesn't appear to have a keyway??? :confusion-shrug:

 

Any thoughts on why a service motor wouldn't have one?

Jim as fellow 856 owner that seat is the price of admission. Looks savable. Just take your time with it dry it out in a sunny room put some leather conditioner on it and re-pad  if needed. I hope you put some time into this one. I did this one this year.

@WHX??  different views , splash pad  or oil down ?  personally would only  oil soak down patina  , thats my first transition on any rusty pick up I get . don,t even touch  the finish for days , just let it soak in the  recovery process , that oiled look would enhance what's there , would also rub it down with a clean oiled cloth , do not , sand  or remove any of that  base coat .  just me , pete

Great score for a benny! If it was me I probably would get it mechanically right and leave it in the rough.

Seller mentioned that he has 150 in the seat. Thought is Wrencher after the EB check list is to put a eight inch plow on it and use it for a house tractor at plow day since I sold the no '73 name 8 I had set up. If that happens yah the seat will get swapped out for a beater. Either way it will probaly go on a resto or a more refined tractor.

It will get a gentle power washing. The tunnel is filled with dirt and crap but after that just something for the to die for patina. Fer sure leave it rough Mike. Paint has never been messed with. 

I shoulda got a pic before we moved it. Grass and weeds growing up thru it and filled with grass clippings. 

Choke and throttle froze up solid so saving those is going to be work.

@WHX?? that choke / throttle issue , 2 choices , replace the cables or , kroil , knock r loose , penetrating oil , with an extension spring  on the close side of  connection mount .  initial soak down , if you can get it to move , to any degree , put spring on opposite end  to assist movement , done that , and have that spring assist on all my cable control movement start points . think about it , every time you move the cable , you have a spring at the other end , helping you to pull it closed / off . do a trial  on an existing movable cable , to test /  try pull assist ,  like having a 3 rd arm , experiment , it works , pete

Possibly a Woodruff hidden by the wide 3-gang pulley?

Slop/wear caused the “hack spot weld” solution?

He told us he had it and would bring it next day. Which of course he forgot it cause him and Dan went out and got hammered at the local dive bar nite before. 

Had his gf bring it so I have it. 

Said he had a set of the older :wh: weights he let me have for 50 clams... sold I says. :text-woo:

He forgot them too. :angry-jumpinganger:

Supposedly coming to plow day so said he would bring them.

I ran across an 856 I just couldn't leave behind also. It is now one of my most reliable machines.

Check out the Spec. Number on the engine, could be a pump/generator engine with a tapered shaft that a PO put s kit on. Looking at the end of the crank shaft in your photo it looks that way to me.

Have yet to run that number but will do Richard. Would like to grind off them welds and check it out as the pulley could go in another 1/8. Not serious tho and if it ain't broke don't fix it I guess.

What's up with that rust buster? Does it work? Or just the same as oil?
