bolted the dual wheels on the 854

[rustyoldjunk 127]

i havent had a chance to do anything with it but on a whim i threw the duals on it just to take a look.i do enjoy using the newer garden tractors for most chores but for some reason i have a real affliction with the antiques.maybe it comes from growing up on the farm with lots of old equitment.(love those old 2 cylinder john deeres) heres a few pictures.i think with some paint and some TLC this would be great for antique power shows and such.

Jim-Duals look great-Your Horse looks like it knows what hard work is-they certainly earn their keep, don't they?-AL :whistle:

Well...its no model really. Its just a bunch of parts and a motor put together to make a "C" series type tractor. It started life as a 1981 GT2500 but the Briggs 11hp and all its anniversary decals were gone by the time I got it. It has a Kohler 10 from a Raider and a seat from a 520 and the rear fenders.......I cant remember what they came off.

Its just a great worker tractor and I think its goin to the show this year since my D-160 wont be ready. Its real comfy with the adjustable hi-back seat.

Mike..........

[rustyoldjunk 127]

i may do something simular.i have a 312 8 thats rough and a c 160 with no engine and a rearend problem.got about everything i think i will need laying around here somewhere to build a nice C style tractor.....and the ways yours looks with the duals inspirers me to be sure to set those parts aside for later use.

Yeah, those little round hoods look with duals. Very nice !

I'll throw mine on the pile here.

I think I need fender flairs....

The 854 looks good with the duals bolted up. Also have always liked those Wards tires.

Guess I will add mine in with all the others.
