adsm08 2,044 #1 Posted April 28, 2019 So last Sunday I picked up a 1965 855 sold at "Not running, has electrical problems" to replace my 2011 JD D100. The extent of the electrical issues I have found and/or repaired so far are a 10 year old battery, some oxidized battery cable ends, and the wire to the lights is broken. Heck, even the cig lighter works. It has some apparently rare options that I am looking for info on. I have been in and out of this site all week while I brought her back to life after sitting for 9 years. So far I have cooked/cleaned/soft rebuild on the carb, cleaned out the gas tank, new lines, new belts to the deck and blades, grease, battery, and blade sharpening. I even got to mow a little bit with it today. 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 2,044 #4 Posted April 28, 2019 Thanks guys. I've loved these things for years. My dad bought one new in 88 and still has it, and that thing just keeps coming, so I've been on the look out for a good one for a while, basically since the warranty on my JD ran out. This one really caught my attention because I have a large shared driveway, and the guy who lived in the other house who would usually get a plow truck from his buddy to clear it moved out at the beginning of the year, so I had to shovel the whole thing myself all winter, which takes about an hour to remove anything up to a 1/4 inch. My wife was browsing and saw "Old WheelHorse with plow" and I was like "Sold!". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought it knowing it probably needed a carb (I was right) but got it running well enough to get through winter. The problem is it has the smaller discharge, so if the snow is even a little wet you make ice bricks instead of throw snow. 30 minutes ago, AMC RULES said: Dillsburg Pa?
