Sparky-(Admin) 21,271 #22251 Posted Tuesday at 09:18 PM Got off the plane, drove home from the airport and got right into leaf duty. 414-8 with a 42”RD was the weapon of choice to chop/mulch my leaves. Started out doing North/South passes and then did the yard again going East/West. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's my snow machine and it has flames, so I call it Fire n Ice 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 40,968 #22254 Posted Tuesday at 11:01 PM (edited) Traded my chipper shredder and a Franklin for this 875. It spent a good part of it's life at a camp hauling firewood. It was given to my friend Bruce about a year and a half ago. it had been switched to a solenoid start circuit and didn't have the PTO parts or the lift parts. Well I had the rockshaft and gave it to him. Bruce installed it and found out why it was missing. When you raise the lift the rockshaft shorts out the solenoid! Engine smokes a tad too. 6 year old Autopart battery still has 230 CCA in it and Bruce says he never put a charger on it ! It's got your standard "Farm Implement Red" blown on paint job but it's somewhat presentable Already swapped out the back wheels and installed studs. Got to rewire it, toss the sediment bowl run new shutoff and gas lines, new trans filter and belt and install a re-ringed Fireball 8. I have all of the PTO parts and going to have to get a dial a height unit and a trans fan screen. Going to make it an "Old School " mowing machine.
