Achto 27,721 #1 Posted July 29, 2020 The newest member of my herd came to me from our very own @Vinylguy. A big bonus to this acquisition was @WHX24 & I getting to hang out with Terry & Lola at their fantastic camp site / Summer home. It did needed a little TLC. After a new flywheel and a couple of minor adjustments to meet my personal tastes it is right as rain. I took my first week of ownership to make the repairs so that I would be able to take my new tractor to a show the following weekend. My future plans for this tractor is to repaint the S/G belt guard and the fan shroud on the engine. The rest of the paint and the custom decals are in great shape so the only other things on the menu are to maintain & love it. Without further ado and a big thanks to Terry, I'd like to introduce "Terrance" my new 857. 9 28 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,288 #18 Posted July 29, 2020 I remember when Terry pulled into the building at the big show with that one. I came close to acquiring it a couple of years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does a good job, but I think that it can do even better if I touch the blades up. No lack of power that's for sure. Will most likely mow my lawn with it tomorrow. I just looked at the blades on the Swisher & they are getting really thin. Edited July 29, 2020 by Achto 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #20 Posted July 29, 2020 Beautiful tractor for sure. Almost too pretty to mow with or get dirty. But then again, that's half the fun of these tractors, actually using them lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
