jtderr 0 #1 Posted December 23, 2013 Hi I'm New to the forum as I just found it. I just picked a 856 on 12/22/2013. I would enjoy seeing some pictures of some of your 856.s. The hood ornament is missing as is the center cap on the steering wheel is it easy to find those items or not. Tom. From Pa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 41,997 #9 Posted December 23, 2013 You could probably get any missing items at the BIG SHOW in Arentsville if you can wait till spring. Don't know where you are in Pa, but you should try to make the show...you won't be disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 16,298 #13 Posted December 24, 2013 Regular gas is fine, but if you have ethanol-free gas close to you, I'd use that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
