The 875 Finally Finished

[D_Mac 8,621]

So I picked this up month's ago as a parts machine. Decided it was to nice to part out. Picked up a steering wheel and put new tires on the front just to be able to move it around. It sat for a while until @squonk picked up an engine for it at the Big Show. So the engine was swapped out. Wiring rewired.  Used the tins on old engine to match the paint. Tranny fluid and filter changed. I didn't paint anything when it was apart because the engine and transmission were untested. Well now it's finished and I'm glad I saved it and didn't part it out. Runs and drives nice and still looks pretty good.

I wasn't at first but now that's all I have. I have a question about the round hoods. The Lawn Ranger, the Suburbans, and RJs are they the same size? I have a Lawn Ranger and was wondering..

No RJ/ Suburban is smaller

Looks great, like the look. I might add Air Ride. Thats a 16x6.50-8 tube with 2 psi on top of the seat cover. Kind of a whoopee cushion/ hemmoroid crater thing.

D-Mac looks great. You can get foam  to redo the seat. Or there is a seller on Face Book does these type of seats. There new. Look in market place.

You embarrass me. It took me 4 months to refresh a deck and you, prior to getting health treatments, refresh a complete machine? Short frame and gen Kohler - love it!

[D_Mac 8,621]

Freshend up the engine a bit. Replaced the seat with one I had in my garage.

Looks great. I love these short-frame square hood wheel horses.

👍This is the kind of RS can do engineering know how that simply cannot be found anywhere else but here.

2 psi. Is arbitrary. Results May vary depending on load!

So is the tube size… some may need a 23x10-12 for proper weight distribution

D_Mac It came out great. Shined up nicely. What is the plan for the seat? Enjoy it. It reminds me of this I had at one time.

I put a seat on that I had in my garage. Not a WH seat but way more comfortable then what was on it. I also put the plow on it.

Sweet 1075. I have one of those as well.

[Retired Wrencher 5,465]

Nice 1075. I like the accent of color. I used to do that also. It better than all red blob.
