I believe  your tractor is a 1966 Model 856.Should be a Kohler 8 horse engine.Penetrating oil is your friend when working on tractors or anything else left out in the weather.Also a fair ammount of patients.

This will help you find the part numbers that you will need

thanks guys  and someone told me this was a 1963 ? has the 8horse Kohler and 3speed trany with clutch and that they only made this model 1 yr.   "don't know"  and yes PB Blaster is the bomb use it on just about everything .

PB Blaster works great on rusted, frozen parts. Don't use WD-40. It does not penetrate. Be patient. There are a lot of parts for that model that are interchangeable with other models. It's not rare. Most models early on were only made 1 year. 8 HP 5 Manual 6 1966. 857 is the same, just the 7 is from 1967.

Actually...the 8 = engine horse power  8hp Kohler k-181s

                the 5= electric start

                the 6= 1966

Model # T856  The transmission is a Wheel Horse #5053  3 speed uni-drive.   3 forward and 1 reverse.

These are not rare, but they are the favorite for many of us members.  The 1965, 1966, and 1967s are considered Short Frame, Square Hoods.

Firstly Happy Birthday @Goofball65, even i‘m late.

 

when things be too heavy rusted on, i use few dribbs of Brakefluid and heat it up with a hotair gun,

it penetrates heated better, than all other stuff i know because brakefluid can resist a lot of heat.

But never use it on keeped painted surfaces, it‘s just for remove, When it‘s rusted over years.

 

When this ain‘t helps, just a Torch or at Least a Burner can solve that.

But be carefully on cast iron, here too much heat with a Burner can maybe damage more than it helps.

Do this only outside of Rooms or well Ventilated, it is not a comfy solution and stinks heavy.

Kroil is the best penetrating oil I've ever used.Good for cleaning rifle bores also.
