I got another tractor. (854)

Recommended Posts

Thanks to my son Nick ("wh_702") this was delivered Sunday night:

It didn't take much to get it running & driving Monday afternoon, so we figured it was worth trying to clean it up:

Nick returned today and we "tinkered" & cleaned a bit more. Naturally we had to test-fit my homemade grader blade :eusa-whistle::

This is what I have been waiting to try for years...... an RM-425 on a round hood: :woohoo:

TT,

Looks good did you actually get that deck working or is it still in the fitting phase?

Cleaned up nicely. In the last couple pics the hood even looks shiny!

Definitly needs a metal pan type seat.

TT,

They were intended for the 1045/1055/1075, but that deck could also be installed on the 855/875. It just didn't happen very often.

The frame & wheelbase is the same on the 854, so I knew it would work. I just needed to make it happen.

I need to get the correct mid-hitch (unique to the RM-425) and get new jackshaft bearings and it should be ready to hack some grass. :handgestures-thumbup:

A little polishing compound & Meguiars cleaner wax did wonders!

I can't agree with you more on the seat - and the high-rise spring needs to go away too. I think they might be Speedex pieces, but I'm not positive. :scratchead:
