Bert 760 #1 Posted May 16, 2017 I found this 854 hood at a junk sale and couldn't leave it there. It was the only item there, figured I'd better save it. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,295 #2 Posted May 16, 2017 First time I have seen a tag mounted like that. Hood looks to be in good shape. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's actually pretty rough, pics hide a lot of rust pits. But I was able to find an advertisement from the dealership Edited May 16, 2017 by Bert 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,295 #4 Posted May 17, 2017 The rust can be fixed. Nobody is making any new 854 hoods. Did I ever mention my soft spot for the 854? lol 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,541 #5 Posted May 17, 2017 Out of curiosity I did a search on and the address comes up being a vacant lot now. Too bad because if it was a going mower shop they would probably want that hood, big time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet they would too, it'd be a great conversation peice I wonder if they're listed in the vintage dealer list thread? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert 760 #11 Posted May 17, 2017 1 hour ago, buckrancher said: How do you know its from a 854? brian Its about 1 inch longer than this one and the front mounting tab is farther back to make up that difference. I needed a low profile air filter on the one above, with the extra inch or so the original k181 filter wound have fit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
