After I got it that far I spent many hours plus broke a few tools getting the steering wheel off of the shaft. I was successful & was able to save the wheel. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thegearhead0324 1,255 #29 Posted January 17, 2018 I just installed the front tach a matic on my 1257. Had to trim the sides of the hood bracket like instructions said. I plan on touching up the tractor in the spring can't really do it when it's 14 degrees. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,265 #33 Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Last night I Broke a tire away from the rim on the rear tire. I just take a 3 foot 4x6 with an angle cut that comes to a 20 degree point at the rim and drive the truck up the incline. The tire peels away and then a few whacks with a 3 pound hammer and a very blunt chisel or a crow bar point breaks it away. If it works at 12 degrees F, then it just plain works. Absolutely amazed that this particular tire was 40+ years old and still holding air Edited January 18, 2018 by ohiofarmer 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #40 Posted January 21, 2018 Used a crowbar, heat, BFH, and had been soaking the hitch on the 857 for a few weeks with PB Blaster. Finally started moving on the pin. Boy, was it stuck! Also pulled the head to check the piston, cylinder walls, and valve. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bunson70 51 #48 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I had this happen while I was out plowing. Original Wheel Horse tire. 1968 Commando 8 Fleet Farm has them for $50.00 a piece. Any other suggestions? Edited January 22, 2018 by bunson70 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they have them in a saw tooth pattern like the originals? I don't recall seeing that pattern there. Either way that's not a terrible price. You could check Miller Tire, Amazon or also.
