bellevillerod 834 #1 Posted November 5, 2018 Hey all, Been here for a while don't post much but read a lot. Currently have a few horses in the stable and found a new one to add. I am having a hard time finding much out about it. I know that you guys can tell me what I have. This little tractor was being put to the road for trash. It still has the lot number tags on the snow plow. The muffler is not even rusty. The old man said that his father in law had it and didn't use it. Pic is worth a thousand words so... Pic it apart, bust the bubble so to speak. But I am happy to have it lol 4 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevillerod 834 #2 Posted November 5, 2018 The tires on the front are from a 854 I'm redoing. I have the original tires along with the full set of chrome caps in excellent condition. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellevillerod 834 #5 Posted November 5, 2018 T 867 is on the tag I'm at work now so I'm not sure of any other numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,739 #6 Posted November 5, 2018 Definitely a franken horse custom but superbly well done with taste and dignity. Looks to be a 753 mated to a later 67 or Raider front. Somebody at one time loved that tractor You serious about that being set out for trash!?!? BTW tell us about your other s. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinylguy 4,666 #7 Posted November 5, 2018 I am probably wrong but I don't think there was a 1047 model. Belt guard decal appears to have a black outline which I've never seen before. Awesome find though. Beautiful tractor 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,739 #8 Posted November 5, 2018 Your not wrong Terry ....is no such thing from the factory that is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevillerod 834 #9 Posted November 5, 2018 I don't know yet what I have. I did find references to the 1047 as the first two speed trans. It has a high an low gear lever. The old man said it was in the family from New. He wanted the space in his garage and wanted it gone. It still has the paper tags on it. The paint is not worn on the pedals. I just bought it home today so I will take more photos and post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevillerod 834 #10 Posted November 5, 2018 Well what model is this a T-867 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevillerod 834 #11 Posted November 5, 2018 I did give him 200.00 for the tractor I figured the moon caps and snow blade was worth that. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shynon 7,435 #12 Posted November 5, 2018 You have an 867 , Kohler 8hp changed out for a Tecumseh and fender pan removed a converted to look like a 1045. Here is my 867 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it has been updated I wonder how they put the belt on with no tensioner. steering wheel has been changed also. You have a modified 867 that looks pretty nice.

WHX?? 46,739 #15 Posted November 5, 2018 200 are you for real??? That might be the deal of the year! An 867 would be big brother to an 857 which would have been a three speed. ...Tom beat me to the incorrect motor thing. Nice tractor Tom.... for sale by any chance?!?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris G 3,274 #16 Posted November 5, 2018 Definitely a nice score for sure. But I would agree that it appears to be a mix and match of sorts, but with that being said it looks like it was well done and someone's pride and joy. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevillerod 834 #17 Posted November 5, 2018 When I couldn't find any information on the tractor I was going to pass. But I am currently redoing an 854 and thought I could use the caps and plow. It has the plow mount also on it. I did find one pic on the forum of a 1047 and it looks like mine. Same motor set up and the like. So I went ahead and paid for it. Ya he was putting it out to the road and his wife told him to try and get some money for it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,656 #18 Posted November 5, 2018 That is one fine looking Frankinhorse and any of us would be proud to have it in our stable! Glad you picked it up rather than some metal scrapper driving by. 9 hours ago, Vinylguy said: probably wrong but I don't think there was a 1047 model.

bellevillerod 834 #19 Posted November 5, 2018 Great way to look at it. It is, to my eyes a very neat little tractor. I am parcel to the round nose tractors, this has the same look.. Kinda. I am still working my dad's old C160 auto and love it. But I really like the little guys. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,687 #20 Posted November 5, 2018 Welcome @bellevillerod! I like the look of a spring seat on anything ! If you decide it wasn’t worth $200, I’ll be on my way! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #21 Posted November 5, 2018 Very cool tractor, I like the combo of the square hood and the rounder-style fenders. Looks like it was a well-done build, not a hack-job. Definitely a great buy at $200. Cant believe the previous owner was gonna trash it 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,064 #22 Posted November 5, 2018 thank you, for saving that tractor ! just the thought of that going to metal scrap is scary. hybrid, restomod, whatever ,it looks very good . good luck with it , no problem being happy, pete 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #23 Posted November 5, 2018 I do scrap but if someone was throwing that out I would of took it. Then kept it lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevillerod 834 #24 Posted November 5, 2018 Well I guess I should do an update on the Frankenhorse. I just got it unloaded and had to leave for work last night. As soon as I got home I had to try to start it. Put gas in a battery I had and a shot of starter fluid. Fired right up! Sounds like a little Harley. I heard a wirling sound and put it in gear. Only has low and the pulley that runs the gearbox has slop in it. So now I have a idea why he was putting it out. So it looks like I have to split the rear-end and have a look. Anybody have a drawing of one of these two speed gear boxes? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
