The 854 finaly at it's new home

[BPjunk 184]

The long sought after model 854 is now at it's final home here in Richmond. The 854 was given a hot bath while in Pee Ya and then taken to the Steam-O-Rama Show. The 854 does run well but has a little loosness in the lower steering shaft, the original fan gear and lower steering shafts on 1964 models used a small 1/4" roll pin to secure the two peices but the replacment part uses a 5/16" roll pin.

The rear wheels had to be cleaned several times to get the anceint grass clippings cleaned off.

Here is the 854 at the Steam-P-Rama Show next to Phil Bowlins imaculate C-81.
