Pop's 875

[Nick P. 20]

875 bought new by my dad and now mine.

I learned to drive on this when I was in 6 th grade!

Pop ran a Parker sweeper tow behind the rear discharge deck.

Still used for mowing,

No winter duty. It retires to the garage after fall leaf mulching.

Thanks for sharing the memory and showin' off the great lookin' Horse!

 

The RD deck and Parker sweeper are a great combination. Used the same setup forty years ago.

Always nice too hear of an original owner tractor being passed down. Your 875 is real nice, has it been restored or is it all original?

Nice tractor Nick, nothing like having dads old horse.

Very nice looking 875, and you have the history behind it!

I have a 875 that I use to mow with every week. My wife kind of calls this "her" tractor!

Thanks all, what a nice reception for the 875.

Looking at a RJ today and was surprised to see it has a Clinton engine with a nice original looking louvered air cleaner can on it? Thought it would have had a Kohler.

I am thinking of buying it, the governor stem has disappeared inside the crankcase and might have some carb issues.

I am guessing it is a late 1950's model with plastic coated steering wheel, agri lug tires and steel seat with Wheel Horse stamped on the front nose of the hood.

Some reason the owner cut the drivers end of the hood off to access the engine?

Advice on year or value?
