stevasaurus 22,229 #26 Posted May 12, 2016 So, did you shoot him an offer?? Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #27 Posted May 12, 2016 No I didn't make a offer. I was a little nervous anyway with the deck having been welded on and him feeling it needed a rebuild due to smoking. Good thing I didn't. Life always steps in. Who knows, maybe I'll find something at the big show! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joebag 17 #29 Posted December 31, 2016 I just bought the 876 mentioned with the funky lights today Dec. 30, 2016. I paid $325 all I want to do with it is to be able to plow a garden I have a Bentley Plow that I put on the back and I have an old scraper blade that I am trying to rig up for it. Although I do have to put battery terminals on the wires, buy a set of chains, I was reading through the comments and seeing where normal 30 weight oil just the right amount what exactly is the right amount of oil 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadguy 861 #30 Posted December 31, 2016 From my experience breaking fresh ground with an 857, I wound recommend you get some 23x10.5x12 ag tires on the rear, filled with fluid and then install wheel weights. Also put tri ribs or reversed ags on the front. Load those tires too if possible and put some sort of weight on the front if you can. Keep the plow share well oiled, smooth and rust free. You may be able to plow with less than all this, depending on your soil type and condition, but out here in north central Wisconsin, virgin dirt in my neighborhood is almost solid prarie grass roots. That is, the soil that isn't covered with woods... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #33 Posted December 31, 2016 Those look like John Deere head lights and head light mounts for a round fender John Deere. They're pretty desirable if they're OEM equipment from Deere. See this picture of my round fender John Deere 110. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #34 Posted December 31, 2016 Too bad someone bored holes in that hood and fenders - looks like a nice patina original 876 and not many of those around that aren't rusted to death and missing a lot of parts . I'd use Kohler's straight 30w in summer , 10W30 in winter/extreme cold . Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,474 #36 Posted January 1, 2017 Here is the manual for your tractor The 8hp engine is a K181 and with electric start it is most often written K181S K=Kohler 18 = approximately 18 cubic inch displacement 1 = one cylinder S = electric start The plate on the engine should have the model number, spec number and serial number on it. The original 876 engine K181S-30108d includes the specification (spec) number which identifies this specific engine for the purpose of identifying the parts used to build it. Differences between specs could be anything from the size of the output shaft, the type of air cleaner to the type of choke and throttle controls on the engine.

dells68 7,494 #37 Posted January 1, 2017 Good deal Joebag. I was just a little leery when he said it smoke and needed a rebuild. Glad it worked out for you and you got a good price on her. Where are you from? Local? Not many horses down here in our neck of the woods. Keep us updated on your progress. Congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,474 #38 Posted January 1, 2017 Just noticed the lube charts show 1-1/4 US quarts for the 876 engine. That is 1.18 liters. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'm at Saltville oh yeah I'll keep you updated on the horse she smokes a little bit I had to adjust the carburetor some and I backed it up to the full size 78 4x4 Chevy truck while it was in park.
