854WH 0 #19 Posted April 3, 2010 i might as well tell you guys how i got this tractor. i went over my uncles house (hes around 75) and we got into a conversation about riding lawn mowers and as we got into the conversation he told me he had an old wheelhorse.so we went and looked at it,as soon as i saw it i fell in love.then my uncle gave it to me.he told me that the tractor had been sitting for about ten years and he had no use for it so when i got it home i started tinkering.all i did to it was clean the carb and put fresh gas into it and charged the battery and she fired right up.I wish i took pictures of when i first got it .after that i wanted the wh to match my company colors so i painted it green,orange and white lettering.right now im pretty much done with it theres just a few more things i have to do i haven't figured them out yet but i will.

854WH 0 #23 Posted April 4, 2010 im trying to get tires for my 854 but on the tire all it says is 8-12 for the size and i cant find a tire for that size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #24 Posted April 4, 2010 Originals would have been 6.00 - 12 on 5" wide rims. If you have 7" wide rims you can use 23 - 8.50 (or 9.50) X 12 tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
