1978c81 385 #1 Posted April 18, 2015 Picked up an 854 last week. This machine has hydro lift. Runs perfect. I think I am just gonna paint the wheels and call it a day. Are the wheels white of the almond color? Thanks for looking. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #2 Posted April 18, 2015 Nice tractor. I think back in 64, they would have been the almond color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse79 271 #5 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) That 854 is "loaded". Nice options like hydraulic lift, seat back and HL-5 headlights. Must have set the original owner back a pretty penny with all those options. Pretty rare combination, nice find!

Racinbob 10,292 #6 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) That is one nice 854. One of my favorite models. I had one when we lived in Indiana that I restored. It was my parade tractor with the HL-5 headlights and seat back but no hydraulics. I'm pretty sure the wheels were white.

Racinbob 10,292 #10 Posted April 18, 2015 I've got a photographic memory but my problem is that I'm out of film so I research things to clear the cobwebs. In 1964 Wheel Horse shows two paint colors on their accessories price list. Red of course and ivory. I'm thinking Rustoleum linen beige was used by a lot of guys. I also saw that the headlight kit was a HL-22. The HL-5 came out in 1965. The bad thing about the HL-22 was that the lights required holes in the hood We all know the downside to looking at those old price lists............. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coadster32 793 #11 Posted April 18, 2015 Nice horse and attachments. Off white, almond, linen beige is the proper color for the rims, (white doesn't really look good anyhow). 854 is my favorite horse!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse79 271 #12 Posted April 19, 2015 That's a nice deck, it appears to be a 32" cut. I believe it's a newer deck than an RM324 deck which would have been available in '64. I think that deck is a '66 or '67 model. Someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

188fan 5 #18 Posted April 26, 2015 Im in the process of restoring an 854. I need a hood in good condition to really finish up the body. I also didnt know they offered hydro lifts, that would be soooooooooo cool to have! Im also in need of tires, but holy smokes they costs as much as full grown tires!
