Easton Rich 768 #1 Posted November 18 As the title suggests, I bought a 953 and 1054. Did I need them? Nope. Did I want them? I guess. Was the deal too good to pass up? Yep. These are both non running units and both need some TLC, but I’ve have my fair share with small and big block Kohlers. I need to find the seats because they both have the bracket, but are missing the cushions, along with the steering center cap. I’m learning as I go, so thank you for any advice or help. Thanks 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 53,335 #2 Posted November 18 Guy here used to make the seats but he since retired. Best advice is find a upholsterer? Center caps I may have. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ML3 2,051 #9 Posted November 18 I been told that the 953 steering wheel center cap is almost impossible to find?? Bought my 953 from @Buckeyes. I was shocked when he told me how much he paid for just the cap. Since I have an open trailer I secure the cap with a small bungee cord cause I'm not taking any chances. The seat bottom just sets on fender pan between the seat bracket & fenders. I installed a hinge at the front. Again, because of having an open trailer I didnt wanna forget to remove seat cushion before transporting it. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buckeyes 242 #10 Posted November 18 For the record, I bought the tractor with the steering wheel cap already on it! But I did pay quite a bit for it from Roy and Betty Stewardson's collection. Beautiful tractor, as is everything else they have up there! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
