Calebintn 1 #1 Posted July 30, 2011 well I finally picked up an 854, this was really the model that I wanted. I bought it from the original owners son, he said he used to mow up until last year when the generator locked up while mowing. The engine is free but I tried to pull start it a few times with no luck. I will be needing a seat and a right front steering rod (see pictures) the tractor is all there and will be a good project, please give input if you notice anything missing or incorrect.

Horse'n Around 22 #4 Posted July 31, 2011 Congratulations on getting your first round hood, its a dandy ! Like you already said other than the seat it looks pretty much original to me. Hopefully with new brushes and bearing and a bit of TLC the S/G will be as good as new for you. Once again, looks really good, Sweet :woohoo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jbumgarner 12 #10 Posted August 1, 2011 The best place to get manuals is mywheelhorse.com. This site will have most all manuals you will ever need. I'm sure someone will give you the exact link to the manual, but I can't seem to get it to copy and paste over here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
