I recognize that decal on the belt guard. I think it was a buckrancher model sold to Ken B then sold to ? /stevebo and now Sparky. That tractor belongs back in NY! :)

My 854 is my go to tractor, if I'm out cleaning up the yard or headed down to the mailbox. Not quite as pretty as yours but just as loved.

If I remember, @buckrancher rebuilt that tractor so it's better than new! :banana-wrench::banana-wrench:

Yep, this 854 was underwater! Brian did a great thread on the rebuild but unfortunately Photobucket has squashed all the pics in the thread ☹️.

Well done Mike. Looks great. And who cares where it comes from, it is the tractor that counts. My :twocents-02cents:   I have to agree with you on Photobucket. My opinion is this site is the worst. It takes for ever to do anything I took all my picks out of it. Enjoy the tractor.  And may be get it dirty?

I tried to buy that tractor before Brian got it. I was beyond pissed when Snyder’s wouldn’t sell it to me cause I “didn’t have a proper garage” to work in. They are out of business now, and even if they were, I wouldn’t buy water from him in a drought. But anyways, 854 is my favorite, and that machine looks stunning. If mine looked half as good as good as that..

      These belts have been hanging in my garage since last used I believe there off a 754 I used to have. Bought them new and didn't use much.
      Don't know why I took them off. Some fraying on top in a few places from use, also don't know why but selling as is and photo'd. 20.00 shipped if you can use them.
      PM for PayPal info or questions. 16" ID approx.

      Okay friends husband and I brought home another mutilated mutation that I felt sorry for and wanted to fix….  Questions will it run??  Lol… what model for sure?  So I believe it’s an 854 and would like feed back to confirm..  lots of stuff coming off… has the k181s tag on the engine!  Two piece gas tank!  So if my friends on here would agree or disagree I would be able to see how much I have been learning over the years!

      Hello y'all,
       
      I hope everyone is staying safe and staying healthy. If not, i pray that you or whoever is afflicted be healed soon. 
       
      I hope to learn a lot from the forums and hopefully can use some of you young whipper snappers for your brains (ideas, how to's and such). Lol. Btw i am only 30, much respect for the older generation(s)!
       
      For me, well... If i would have found this 5-6 years ago, i would have said I am new to Wheel Horse. That is about the time my dad bought the 312-8 (that i now own). That purchase and talking to my dad about implements/attachments that i could purchase is what got me so interested in wheel horse. 
       
      Like i mentioned, i started with a 312-8. When i purchased from my dad, it came with a mower pan and a snowblower (wrong model tho). Wisconsin winters were brutal and a regular snowblower was taking me 2+ hours to clear the driveway. Thats when i bought my B-100, included in that deal was a mower pan and a plow. Boy... that B-100 has plowed a lot of snow. I love it. 
       
      I had also bought 2 lack luster tillers at some auctions. Well, that made me look for a tiller attachment. Found one relatively close and went to go look. $200 later, i had a tiller loaded into my truck and i had asked if he had the tillers mount for the rear axle. He said he wasnt sure, but he has a wheel horse sitting in the back. Told me to go look. 
       
      I look over this 854, and there is no rear mount. Just as im getting up, he asks if i want the tractor. I said i only got the $200 i gave you. He said free of charge. And thats how i gained my 854. (854s hood is in my shop)
       
      I want to start restoring my wheel horses, pretty paint, new decals, clean them up. I am proud of what i own. 
       
      And now im looking at getting a D200 with FEL and a backhoe. Its a sketch time to buy but i could use the tractor for house and cabin work. 
       
      Pics are attached. Please ignore the messes. They aint the prettiest tractors, but they all run.
