dclarke 4,141 #1 Posted 6 hours ago I picked up a well worn 867 several months ago. Took it apart to determine what I had to work with and started a list of parts I’d need to bring it back to life. I Found the matches under the fender pan. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dclarke 4,141 #3 Posted 5 hours ago This tractor needed a lot of repair or replacement parts so I met up with a buddy who supplied me with most all the parts needed to put a nice tractor together. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dclarke 4,141 #4 Posted 5 hours ago (edited) Last fall I found a decent set of 5.50 front tires, I got all 4 rims cleaned up, new tubes and a coat of Miller’s tire paint and got those ready to go. I was also able to make any repairs to the tins and frame before winter set in, the lower steering shaft was replaced and I had new bushings installed in a couple lower supports and added a zerk to the bottom bushing on the support I used on this project. I got the motor generator refreshed, while it was apart I drilled & tapped new regulator mounting holes to move the regulator terminals a bit farther away from the gas tank then filled the original holes with epoxy.

dclarke 4,141 #5 Posted 4 hours ago I thought I might play in the snow with this tractor so I picked up some weights and a very nice blade. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dclarke 4,141 #6 Posted 4 hours ago A few months ago I got the tranny apart, found some nice gears to replace bad ones and had to get a new pulley for the 5/8” input shaft. The hub on front of the pulley needed turned down to allow belt alignment so I had that done and then added a couple more set screws to help hold it in place. I also added a second drain plug to the tranny case. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dclarke 4,141 #7 Posted 4 hours ago (edited) I ran into all kinds of problems with the engine, the block was cracked, the replacement needed bored and all the other usual stuff. I finally found what I needed, had the machine work done and got it back together a few weeks ago. Edited 3 hours ago by dclarke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dclarke 4,141 #8 Posted 4 hours ago With the warmer weather I was about ready to start reassembly. I bought a tranny kit from Lowell, had to find good pinion plates for the differential, mine were cracked. Got the tranny together and bolted to the frame. I decided to try the thrust bearings on the spindles so I had the front axle machined for that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dclarke 4,141 #10 Posted 3 hours ago I pretty much got it finished up this week. A seat from Matt Castagno, I added seat springs so made a new steering wheel shaft and raised the steering wheel. New decals from Terry and a new headlight lens. A nice original paint tractor with a few added touches. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
