Hello there
I致e just bought a tractor from our local golf club & am interested to find out more about it. It痴 a Jacobsen 875 & I think they were produced by Massey Ferguson??

I googled and couldn't find any information about the 875. My experience with Jacobsen is thus: I was employed with Ford Tractor Division from '72 until they downsized (and eventually sold to New Holland). Ford had their top of the line lawn and garden tractors (not the cheaper lawn tractors) made for them by Jacobsen. Very tough machines they were.
I assume that your unit is a compact tractor or mower. Assuming that the company hasn't allowed the cost accountants to cut corners, that should be a great workhorse.
I have no idea whether MF had a hand in the manufacturing or not.
A big welcome to TBN.

Welcome to TBN. The return spring for the bucket seems a bit out of spec

Hope you can find more information here. How does it run ?

Golfer567 · Jul 20, 2020

Seems to run well. Everything working. Just wondered how old it’s likely to be?

Howdy Golfer, I share your obvious love of the game. I wonder if the photos are right side up for the mates from down under? Welcome and this site is great!
