Gladly Sylvia...

That is just a standard front blade plow made for moving snow or dirt around. A very common attachment for short frame tractors of the day.

Big Red  here are some pics of my 854  over the last couple years.    I have a horn, lights and it is a fun tractor to use.    I used my 1962 Wheel Horse BD-4262  Snowplow on this tractor one winter.

 

Make sure to get a manual online on Red Square if you do not have one as that is a very important thing to have when owning one of these tractors.    A parts list and operating information is included in it.

Another nicer example of a front blade @BIG RED WHEEL HORSE 854 

What's not to like about the sickle mower either! 

What kind of muffler is on that tractor @Lane Ranger....looks interesting.

Jim the muffler on the 854 is the Shusher muffler.  This was the Muffler Wheel Horse originally used on the 1974 B-80s when sold from factory.  
 

I have two of them.  One on my 854 and one on my 702.   Toro still sells this ( not sure of part number). And you can find in their parts catalog for about $ 400.  These mufflers clamp on - they are not threaded.  They do have a quieter sound. 

 

 

I also have a Nelson muffler that is very similar to the Shusher.

Those are some nice tractors.

Here's another shot of the 854 I picked up at the 2018 big show. We're moving a lot of dirt and stone this summer and this one does a pretty good job. I'm gonna need to find a little more tire on the rear though.

Hey guys, I had a question me and my dad were working on the mower deck and we had a constant problem with it being noisy. It s a RM364, and on idle it is noisy but on high RPM it evens out, is this normal.

Keep in mind it's a 50 year old deck, Could be a number of things spindle wear, gear wear, change out the 4 pressed in needle bearings, thrust washers, download the manual, it's not too expensive to rebuild a geared deck
