marreque 200 #29 Posted October 15, 2022 Ok guys I need some help...... I rewired the 1054 today, following the wire diagram to a T, but now the tractor has power weather the key is on or off. Also installed new coil, condenser, gap the points, set the valves and new fuel line. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blasterdad 2,526 #30 Posted October 15, 2022 I would check the ignition switch, probably bad... See if "off" is actually off... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marreque 200 #31 Posted October 15, 2022 I verified the switch is good with the ohm meter. Thank you 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
23 Reo 221 #32 Posted October 15, 2022 Please tell us about your tractor with the old Brigs and snow blower. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marreque 200 #33 Posted October 15, 2022 Sure, it's a Simplicity VC. Bought new by my grandfather with a snow blower, plow, and lawn mower. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 8,832 #34 Posted October 15, 2022 Using the wiring diagram following it with a test light or voltage meter. With the key off it will tell you where the power is coming from 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,466 #35 Posted October 15, 2022 What generator indicating light socket did you use? Is the generator light connected to the battery side of the starter push button? The Cloe Hersee PL 20 RC light has two wires that go to the light bulb and there is no reference to ground on the light bulb. If you are using the old stock light that came on the tractor be sure the wires are not touching each other or ground. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marreque 200 #36 Posted October 16, 2022 There isn't a gen light in the dash, so I went right to the button with the wire. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marreque 200 #37 Posted October 16, 2022 Also, the wiring diagram shows the voltage regulator having constant power from the battery. Is that correct or should it be switched power? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marreque 200 #38 Posted October 16, 2022 Another question.....the steel fuel line from the pump to carburator, what do we use for the rubber gasket in between the fittings?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That seems to be correct, the wiring for a 1055 also shows a wire from the battery + to the center terminal of the VR. 11 hours ago, marreque said: There isn't a gen light in the dash, so I went right to the button with the wire. What wire are we talking about. If there is no generator light just eliminate that portion of the wiring, don't connect the key switch to the starter push button. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marreque 200 #42 Posted October 29, 2022 Ok guys, update time. Been playing with the 1054A and decided to hit the starter button after priming the carb with the fuel pump primer lever 50 times. I actually could not believe it as it fired right up!!!! I never touched the carburetor at all, it's how I parked it 25yrs ago. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHGuy413 2,506 #43 Posted October 31, 2022 It’s so awesome to see tractors come back into the family they started with or to the family that they really were enjoyed by. I officially finally have all of my grandfathers tractors (dads dad had a bronco 14 and a 1848, moms dad had a 416h) and my dads tractor (12 automatic). Look forward to seeing your progress. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The original seat was gone way before I can remember. Congrats on the first fire in 25 years! Woo hoo! The seat will have inserts in it. It bolts on from the back with 1/4-20 bolts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marreque 200 #46 Posted October 31, 2022 My seat support is round with small pieces of tubing welded on almost like it would flip up to put gas in it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,530 #47 Posted October 31, 2022 I believe the bottom pad just sits there. That’s the way all mine do. Possibly the 1054A had the round tube and the 953/1054 had the bent square? Possibly yours has been remade? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
