Martin 2,130 #6 Posted June 15, 2011 i love my 875. great little tractor. excellent turning circle. the k181b is getting tired but still is a good little engine. the 875 has the hydro trans. great for mowing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #7 Posted June 15, 2011 854, 855, 875, 856, 876, 857, 877, 867, commando 8, and I probably forgot at least one, all had 8hp kohler starter gen. engines, and for a 8hp are pretty powerful, and I love how a starter gen engine starts so quietly. Oh ya if you want to include briggs the 800 specials and A-90 had a 8hp briggs starter gen. engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #8 Posted June 15, 2011 I have an 856 and a 600 series with an 8 horse in it. (K181). I love them. They are fun to drive and easy to work on! This one still needs a rebuild and restored. This is an 856. (1967) There are other that are powered by the K181. Others will chime in. BooVuc Mill Hall, PA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,028 #11 Posted June 16, 2011 That one probably is a Commando 8 it has the wide fenders, flat belt guard, and correct steering wheel for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
