Portage show a couple of weeks ago I see this girl sitting all by it's lonesome on the auction block. I had first thought is was a bucket lister 855. Cardboard sign on it says consignment for auction so now have to patiently wait for auction tomorrow.
Auction time comes and I see it's an 856... oh well I'm in love and committed and It's mine for 300 clams. I know Pullstart wanted to jump in just cause he's an auction junkie but didn't want to rain on my parade. Thanks Bro... I gave him the deck to ease his pain. Also had a blower and nice front blade with it but those were sold separate and I had no interest in it. Blower & blade heavy ya know...
It sports a crude rattle can job but other wise complete & starts & runs great with no smoke. Jacks boy @Coulter Caleb drove it back to camp for me.
Appears this tractor has come full circle here at RS

I am new to anything mechanical and inherited a WH856 in pretty good condition when my Father in law passed. My daughter and I turned to this forum to learn all we can to get it in working condition. well low and behold you guys taught us so much and we cleaned the piston head, changed piston ring, cleaned valves, rewire, changed condensor, breaker point, spark plug, coil, ignition switch, fuel tank, fuel lines, throttle and choke cables and got that baby running. my wife was so happy as it is the only thing she has of his. Now we are in NY we get a major snow fall and I break out the WH856 with plow and am making short work off plowing but then wheels go cockeyed. the right hand ball joint assembly keeps coming off. how can I fix this? where can I get both left and right ones so I can make sure it doesn't happen again. while I am at it how do make sure there is enough lubrication in the transmission?
I am going to post pictures of the 856 soon. It is named after y father in law .... "Dominick da Plumber"

So I got bored Sat afternoon and decided to re-do the hood on grandpa's 856. Started sanding and it was looking good. All those layers of brush strokes helped preserve it. Anyways....on with the pics. Guess I'll have to do the rest now.

So Tues evening I spent some time prepping my tractors in anticipation of the snow storm that we got hammered with all day Wed and still today. Checked fluids, filled fuel tanks, covered my Ford 9N (it sits outside) went in, slept like a corpse. Wed morn, no snow! By the time I got home from work (about 4:15....45 min for a 20 min ride) we had in excess of 10" on the ground. Went to fire up the Ford.....turned over but no dice. My 1966 856 fired right up and did the job. It has yet to let me down.

I went to start my 856 this morning to plow snow and I noticed the rear end was locked up (again). I took the shifter out and looked in the hole. There was no rust. And the I took a large screwdriver and tried to move the forks. They moved. Im all out of ideas. does anyone know what could be wrong with it?
