Cleaverkid 11 #6 Posted July 21, 2010 Mark, That's looking mighty fine! I grew up riding an 856, cutting grass in the summer and pushing snow in the winter with her. She never let me down either way. Now she's sitting in my folk's shop until Mom gets the place sold. At that point, I'm hoping it will end up in my shop! LOL Good luck and enjoy the ride! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
