A couple of weeks ago I asked some questions about the 185 I was looking at, well its finally in the barn and I feel like when I got my first Harley 30 years ago, It is beautyfull! I don't know how to transfer a photo to the computer, I'll have to get my kid to do that. I bought it from a fellow who was having it serviced at  Mike Culberts in Wellsville NY, on thier word I bought it without hearing it run, they didn't disapoint me!(also have a Simplicity2210) If anyone has any advice on these machines I'd be glad to here it. Great website here!

Great! I think the 185 is a great tractor. Hope you enjoy using yours as much as I enjoy using mine.

Rich - nice 185!  What size tires front & rear?  Those fronts look like 10.00X16's?   And 18.4X30 rears?  Reason I ask is I put new 18.4X30 rears on my One-Eighty and need to upgrade/replace the fronts and want to go to something bigger than 7.50X16's.   Mike

I have a 185 bought new in 1973, the motor has been overhauled once and the clutch replaced once, the tractor has 13,000 hrs on it and no it is not for sale!

Are those Massey Ferguson fenders?  They don't look like AC.
