Hello to all. This a great site. Wish I had it when I did my first wheelhorse. I just got another Wheelhorse. This one is an 1965 875. It needs quite a bit of work. It is a runner with a late model 10hp Tecumseh mounted on it and the hydro system seems to be ok. Doesnt seem to be a popular model and cant find a lot of info and pictures on it. I was wondering if anyone had any more pictures so I can tell what is original and what isnt.

Thanks Jim

Jim... :notworthy: ...there is picture of an 875 in the picture galery. I'm thinking the 10 hsp techy is not stock...you probably already know this... :thumbs:

how do you like the techy though? There are some members here that like them.

I like them because they make me think. :WRS:

I will definately be posting pictures as soon as I can. Yes I know the engine isnt stock but its just what the previous owner stuck on it. It runs real good and pushes real hard. The picture in the gallery is only of one side and was looking for all around pictures.

Here are a few pictures of the 875 That is now in pieces around my garage. It has the wrong seat, steering wheel, front wheels and tires, rear tires and hood decals, but, other than that, they might help. It does have the correct motor, a Kohler K 181.

TJ those pictures are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I tried to do a search but everytime I do it tells me I dont have enough characters. You need more than four and 875 only has three.

Thank you everyone for your greeting. Will be spending a lot of time here to get this done.

TJ...thanks...I am dealing with some cracked ribs and a little pnuemonia, and you help this new member by saying that here is my 875, but nothing is right. I know

you ment well, but you had me laughing so hard I almost cleared my lungs. Can't wait to shake your hand at the show in Charlott this August. :notworthy:

Jim...I don't know where you are from...but if the Charlott show in Michigan is not a long drive (1st weekend in Aug) concider this an invitation. :thumbs:

you will not be disappointed.
