I found my old 854. My very first one.

[JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,561]

To start off I hope everyone had a great Easter with family. 

 

As I was getting rid of old In active phone numbers I came across the young mans number who bought the last of many wheel horse items I had left. Including my very first one. My 854 , which I took down and redid all but the engine. There's a old thread on here during that journey. I luved that old machine. Than I got a perfect restored plowblade from Mike / Sqounk. Has anyone seen him or Craig? Anyway, I asked Chris about my old 854. He sold it. And gave me a picture of it. She looks great. I told him.lf his friend ever sells it. I want the first call. I was foolish never to keep it. It straightened me out during my stroke recovery.  And got me here. And to 1 PA meet. I met many good folks here. And still enjoy reading on here.  Anyway here is the picture. I hope you guys enjoy it .

From.what I gather his buddy has the plane and hanger. He bought the 854 to mow the grass around the hanger. When I bought the 854 it came with the original and working rear discharge deck. The bearings and deck were near perfect. I should have taken it down and painted it. But didn't. 

 

Stupid me just started binge buying wheel horses. And plenty of them. Trust me.

Hey there Ed. So darn good to see you. We shared many a word over the years. I tried texting Mike. How about Craig. And was sorry to read about Duke. Another good guy.

Yeah, we're still here Glenn.   Mike and the rest of the s try to keep everyone smiling.   Don't hear much from Craig.

This is how it looked when I finished it. I remember every nut and bolt. And hours sanding, painting, breaks, tires, bearings,  everything. Doing it with my sons. Hunting up parts decals etc. They were just kids. But what a joy. Putting it together piece by piece. But most of you here know the same good feeling. I liked that pld seat back I found and put on. The tractor look for me. Lol. But Fulfillment.
