adsm08 3,354 #1 Posted September 10, 2019 Tonight after dinner the wife sat down on the couch with her phone. A few minutes later she told me "Go get $175 out of the ATM, grab a trailer, and go to X address". On my way to the bank she called me and told me to grab $300 instead. Got there and this is what I found waiting. So, uh, what was I saying about not buying another WH? 4 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I have a better plow, with a manual lever, so I don't have to panic about getting that stupid pump on the 855 working before winter. So, uh, what is it?

Tuneup 1,452 #14 Posted September 10, 2019 I've got a soft spots for Briggs since growing up with a Simplicity 707. Love the electric start and a truly unique tractor, and woman. Wife trolling for WH? Unheard of. You're a lucky man in many ways. Enjoy it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My plan is to ultimately get the HY2 on the 855 working and it be my plow tractor, find a deck for this and get the clutch working, and make it a back up mower/ LD yard worker. Snow plow duty is probably the heaviest work any of my stuff will ever see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asphalt driveway that isn't very big and not a lot of snow and you'll be okay plowing with that but it is much more suited to be a mower. Even though it is not as heavy as a garden tractor it is still a good quality overall reliable machine. @gwest_ca might be able to help out with the year and model.

Takes me about an hour to shovel 1/4" off it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
