Robbie C. 1 #1 Posted June 26, 2011 wow i cant believe it's been so long since i posted here but with the divorce 2 years ago and having to sale off all my horse's i thought i would post a few pics of my new project and reintroduce myself. I know she in sad shape now but with time she will shine again The old kohler came to life with a little carb cleaning and purred like a kitten, the deck however seems to have issues as i cant get it to move much at all. 1965 855 model T 855 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
