Fl tractor. This will make a good project for you. Take your time with it. Enjoy it when it is done.

[Pullstart 71,121]

3 speed, hydraulic lift, lots of ground clearance, super heavy duty frame and front axle.  What’s not to love?

[WHX?? 57,820]

Rough around the edges ... go get it. 

[953 nut 68,575]

953   

9=9hp

5=gear drive transmission

3=1963

 

1054

10=10hp

5=gear drive 

4=1964

 

 

856

8-8hp

5=gear drive

6=1966

 

The 953 and 1054 have 15" rear wheels and a hydraulic lift.

The 856 has 12" rear wheels and a manual lift.

Hydraulic lift comes from a separate pump called an HY-1 or HY-2. This is different from the later Sunstrand- or Eaton-powered lifts where the pump was integral to the transaxle.

Is it on the trailer yet?

What are you waiting for

How difficult to service and fill the hydraulic pump and lines?

Good question for @953 nut or @ri702bill 

[ri702bill 12,841]

The Hy-xx series stand alone pumps are fairly simple - pump, directional valve, & reservoir all in one. If the pump, cylinder & lines are completely empty, it will require filling the reservoir a few times as the fluid makes it way thru the lines & cylinder when activated.

You NEED to determine just what fluid in in there - It could be oil, ATF, or a mineral based recirculating "oil".Try and use the same... others my sprcify one over the other. The HY-2 and HY-3 manual is of little help - it just provides a now obsolete WH part number for the fluid...

They are rugged tractors...but as I get older the fact that it weighs 192 lbs more than an 856 is becoming more and more an issue when it comes to working on them...

You came to the wrong place if you’re asking for advice on that! These guys are a bunch of enablers 🤣🤣🤣

Paul there is always way to get around that.  A electric lift mounted to the ceiling of the garage and a bunch of moving dollies when parts are missing like the rear end front axle that’s how I get around it. And I also have four wheeler lift. I put 6 x6`s  on the lift for more height. I never throw scraps of wood away like 4 x 4‘s or six by sixes and some two by fours. Definitely good for adding height.As a matter of fact on Saturday, I started taking apart the 1056 because somebody broke the set pin lack of a better word I guess for the shifter I couldn’t put it into gear so I had to take out the a transmission and put a new locking pin and set nut. Luckily, I had a few of them hanging around that I bought on eBay. Should be all back together.

From the lubrication charts for the 953, 1054 and 1054A item H-1 for the hydraulic lift

That must be the way they were built around that one piece body weldment.   A lotta   to remove the fuel tank.
