Take lots of pictures...lots of pictures, close ups of everything, how it comes apart, how it goes together, then start taking it apart one piece at a time. The good folks here will guide you through. Good luck.:handgestures-thumbupright:

Print out a manual from the manuals section.     Make several copies of the exploded parts drawings.  Use these to ID, label, and bag  all parts and fasteners.   The manual will also show you the parts that may be missing from your tractor.  I can see on your photo, you are missing the starter/flywheel belt guard.
I just bought a 1965,875 with a broken connecting rod. I replaced the rod and tuned it up and it runs perfect. And that little rear discharge deck really cuts a nice lawn.
Best of luck,  have fun,  and keep us posted ....:wwp:

:WRS:  Always glad to hear about a father and son project. The first place to start is to see what you are starting with. Get it running (if it isn't) and see how strong the transmission is. We have lots of restoration threads on this site and plenty of folks that can and will help along the way. Be very methodical when you disassemble and as "kudzu3" said take lots of step by step photos. Download the manual from our Manuals section and label parts as you go along using the numbers and names from the manual. Use storage containers and put labels on them too.

Share progress reports and photos as you go along and best wishes.

Welcome to Red Square :)  I don't know what you know about hydros, but if you want to push that horse around at all, you have to open the tow valve.  Lift up the seat...it is a 1/2" bolt on the left side down between the pump and the tool box.  You only have to open it about 1/2 to 1 turn and then you can push or tow the tractor.  Be sure to gently tighten again when you want to ride it...the hydro works better when closed.  Don't ask how I know that...I just bought an 876...it is just one year older then yours.  You guys will love this horse.  :)
