AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #1 Posted November 17, 2016 Been looking for a 856 or 857 to add to the collection and got this from a buddy. He got it from the original owner and passed it on to me. Needs the fuel pump rebuilt and it will be back in service. I think I'm just going to clean it up and leave it a survivor. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #2 Posted November 17, 2016 Nice score. I agree, leave it as original since it's in pretty nice shape already. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry M-(Moderator) 2,125 #3 Posted November 17, 2016 Glad you found that JA...Looks like a really nice one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,532 #4 Posted November 17, 2016 Nice find. As well as a simple cleanup and leaving it as a survivor I would loose those wheel-barrow front tires. Mike.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #5 Posted November 17, 2016 Yeah the front tires are on the list of things to change. I have a few new sets of 3 front ribs but I think I'm going to go with a Turf type. Rear tires are wheel horse brand and in good shape. Would like to find some good useable front wheel horse tires. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,727 #6 Posted November 17, 2016 Nice .... ...Love the patina JA but yes loose the tires ... I have got a set of original WH tires with tubes off my 1067 (sawtooth thread with the WH on them) if your interested .... yours free for the asking + shipping. They are fairly cracked (sidewalls) but would have some use in them yet for a worker. I got a nice set of tri ribs that @edwroy recently had in classifieds. Let me know if you want pics or more info. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,727 #8 Posted November 18, 2016 Here ya go JA... I would think 20-30 bucks for shipping . If you don't want them they are free to any member for just shipping cost. I hate to have to throw them out but I will probably never use them. They do have some overspray on them The tubes did hold air but will need the core threads chased and new cores. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,625 #10 Posted November 18, 2016 @J.A., That is a great find, love the short frames. @WHX9, your offer is the type of thing that makes this the greatest on line family there ever could be! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
