Jake Kuhn 1,554 #1 Posted August 5, 2012 Well guys,had a great day at charlotte today and ended up picking up a 875 today. I've always like the styling of these tractors and wouldn't mind owning a hydrostatic tractor and then I found this one today. I picked this up from bill fercho,he said he is not on here,but I'm sure some of you know him. It runs pretty good but needs some carburetor work. Has a brand new keyswitch in it. There are some changes that will need to be done to it but nothing major. The lift has been changed to a hydraulic lift (which I kind of like) so it will probably get left on there. There are for some reason someone cut the belt guard around the motor,they did it to the frame too by the mower deck. The transmission has been changed to a newer one and it does leak a little,someday I will change it but I will just use it for now. it needs the correct seat and a couple other small things but its a pretty nice tractor. Here is a pic,sorry I couldn't get a very good one,I will try to get some better ones tomorrow. It was rained on so it is wet in the pic.~ Jake don't know why the camera keeps doing this date thing Need to figure out how to reset it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,518 #15 Posted August 7, 2012 Very nice collection. This Horse disease is catching. Many years since owning a Wheel Horse. Last month the disease struck back I now have a '73 12 hp, automatic in the barn. And, last week added a Raider 12. Not to mention a snow blower, chains, spare engine, two sets of mounted tires, and a spare automatic transmission, "I need this 'stuff'." Wife wants to go out, "I'm very busy." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
