I grew up about a mile from Pohlig's. I used to enjoy going up there when I was young and admire all the new tractors. That 876 is going to make a great project. Congrats on the little one!

 

A great family business. Great people to deal with. 

I miss old Billy. He was a good honest man.

      I noticed that the 876 was leaking trans fluid on the garage floor after i parked it.
      Went out the next day and cleaned up the spot and put a can under the hydro.
      Checked the next two days and nothing in the can.  So that told me it only leaks when its running
      Fired it up this afternoon and let it run and cycled the lift a few times
      Shut it off and checked all the hoses, filter and anything else I could see from the top
      Crawled underneath and found fluid dripping from the area circled in the photo
      If I replace the two parts noted on the photo is there a good chance that would fix the problem or are there bigger issues???

      I had wired the tractor according to the wiring diagram (I thought) and have been waiting on some parts to finish.
      Everything was ready to go except the ground wire connected to the battery.
      As I was looking at my handy work I thought that the ground wire would look better if I moved it to the other side of the fuel line.
      In the process of moving the wire it touched the negative post on the battery......ZAP SPARKS!!!
       
      Got out the diagram (see photo) and retraced the wires from the regulator (see next photo) to the switches in the dash (see last photo)
      Everything looked like it is where it is supposed to be.
      The only thing that I am not 100% sure of is the wire that comes out the bottom of the regulator and to which terminal on the starter/generator (hard to see in the picture, it's on the right terminal)
      I thought I had it on the correct terminal. That wire does not appear on the wiring diagram.
      Could that be the problem? or is there something I missed??
      Will appreciate any and all help

      One of the prior owners had added head and tail light to the tractor (876's did not have lights)
      I am getting down the the "short strokes" with the rebuild and trying to figure out the best place to add the circuit.
      My thoughts so far are to tap into the cigar lighter and run the wire over to the wafer switch (the PO did an outstanding job installing the switch to the dash panel)
      As most of the tractors that HAVE lights use a fuse in the circuit and I have been thinking of putting the fuse between the cigar lighter and the wafer switch.
      YES/NO??? Other ideas? 
      When I disassembled the tractor I know that there was no fuse and I am not real sure about wires
       (I wasn't paying that much attention to the wires as I had the diagram and didn't realize then that the 876 didn't have lights)

      I found this "field modification" (origin unknown). The dark square that has been wired to the rod is lead that weighs about a pound and a half.
      the 876 doesen't have the friction parts of the later models so I am wondering if this was/is an attempt to dampen the movement of the forward/reverse lever?!?
      Any ideas??
