dells68 7,498 #33 Posted February 24, 2018 Well, I took the 857 to the farm today to ride around a little. It did great ... until I tried to drive up Dad's driveway with a pretty good grade. Near the top the belt gave up. I was trying the old one to check the trans. It just fell apart! Oh well, here goes a trip to tractor supply tomorrow. Still runs great and all gears are . Cleared the deck that we got from a 66 856 back in the fall. Hope to install it soon. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
