Tonytoro416 1,155 #1 Posted Tuesday at 11:33 PM Well you guys asked so I finally took some pictures tonight. Dad and I have been working on this for months. It was a mess. Pump and cylinder was missing. Rockshaft also. Totally jacked up steering column that was. Belt covers were missing and flimsy tin ones were added. Your typical gas tank and battery location swap so underneath seat was hacked out. Toolbox was hacked and rusted. Big mess but it was grandpas. He purchased tractor jacked up. Motor was swapped with a Briggs at some point. Well here it is today. I have made and fabricated a lot on this tractor so far. 3 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont ever seem to see really nice 953s or 1054s at shows. Glad to see another one be a "shiny" tractor. Also, being your grandpas tractor means so much too. Seems like they were mostly worked. Im thankful to Buckeyes for selling me such a nice 953 at such a fair price. Edited Wednesday at 12:18 AM by ML3 7 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 8,099 #4 Posted Wednesday at 08:10 AM Nice! Amazing how long it takes to get things back in shape, especially when hacked. Lots of patience. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that the frame and rear fenders are one piece creates a challenge for the body work, that's for sure. Looks like you are making good progress. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
