Pop's 875

Recommended Posts

Nick P.

875 bought new by my dad and now mine.

I learned to drive on this when I was in 6 th grade!

Pop ran a Parker sweeper tow behind the rear discharge deck.

Still used for mowing,

No winter duty. It retires to the garage after fall leaf mulching.

Thanks for sharing the memory and showin' off the great lookin' Horse!

 

The RD deck and Parker sweeper are a great combination. Used the same setup forty years ago.  :)

Always nice too hear of an original owner tractor being passed down. Your 875 is real nice, has it been restored or is it all original?

Very nice looking 875, and you have the history behind it!

I have a 875 that I use to mow with every week. My wife kind of calls this "her" tractor!

Thanks all, what a nice reception for the 875.

Looking at a RJ today and was surprised to see it has a Clinton engine with a nice original looking louvered air cleaner can on it? Thought it would have had a Kohler.

I am thinking of buying it, the governor stem has disappeared inside the crankcase and might have some carb issues.

I am guessing it is a late 1950's model with plastic coated steering wheel, agri lug tires and steel seat with Wheel Horse stamped on the front nose of the hood.

Some reason the owner cut the drivers end of the hood off to access the engine?

Advice on year or value?

      Hi all.  I am new to the Wheel Horse world and I have a question about attaching a tiller to my 875 before I start spending money.  Based on what I've read so far, it sounds like I can use the RT-366 tiller without having the 8-3311 PTO assembly, is this correct?  If so, does the RT-366 belt attach to the hydrostatic motor if there is a double pully (#6887) installed?

      Picked this up today because I wanted the deck for my 875. The 875 has no deck so I figured this one is better then none at all. Question is what do I do with the rest of it??? 875, was told the engine needs rebuilding. Been sitting in a barn last 20+ years. Steering wheel is broke. Both front tires are shot and coming off the rims. Original paint. Plow needs the arm to turn the blade. Its repaired in a fixed position. Worth more in parts or as whole? Not sure I want a big project. What do you all suggest???

      My 875 is missing the small spring that is attached to the cam/neutral plate. 
      The part number is 1230 and NLA.
      Anyone have one or know the dimensions of the spring?
      Thank you!
