857

Here are some pics of my 857. I bought it in the summer of 2010 and did a total restore. It took me about nine months to complete. This was my first wheel horse and first restore.

What size tires did you put on the front? Just wondering if you replaced 5.50'S with 6.50'S and used the original rims. Looks good.

Thanks everyone. If it was not for this forum I would of never got it done. I took lots of photos from the day I brought the tractor home to taking it apart to working on it to putting it together. I took lots of digital photos and film photos. My wife is the computer brain in the house so she downloaded all the digital photos and made me my own file for them. I thought that was nice until one day we got a virus on our computer and it wiped out are harddrive and my wife never downloaded the photos on a disk. That day sucked lost lots of pics of the family and tractors. Good thing I kept up with the old way of taking photos and used the film camera as much as the digital camera. live and learn.

man that looks awesome. hope my 1057 comes out as nice......

like the tread on those turf masters, i wanted to get them for mine but ended up going with the turf saver in a 9.50 size, as the local farm and fleet had them on sale. i already had the turf savers in a front size so i just kept them the same for the rear... ( same as your 6.50 fronts)..
