1054 wheel horse sediment bowl

Recommended Posts

Lane Ranger

Anyone know what size fuel sediment bowl will fit under the 1054 Wheel Horse as a replacement? I am not sure the size of the connection that is used on the sediment bowl or if a new replacement is available and would appreciate any information on a size and/or source for one of these glass sediment bowls.

You can buy a complete new assembly for 10.00 on ebay or local parts outlet,I think the connection is 1/8" npt,Rick

I've given up using sediment bowls.

I got one from Napa for about $10, installed it and it was fine. 3 hours later I walked into the shop to find 1/2 gallon of gas on the floor underneath the tractor. The seal for the glass bowl had swelled up and dumped the contents of the tank onto the floor.

I did find someone who had cork gaskets for these (possibly TNT Parts on ebay?) and that solved the problem, but that experiance soured me on them.

Now I use an inline filter (which are better anyway) and one of the little inline plastic stut off valves.

I think Rick is right, the fittings are 1/8" NPT.

I agree, forget the bowl and go with a inline filter. I used a bal valve as a shut off.

Well we have one of the 4 operating 1054's we have with a sediment bowl and I think it is not the original but the gasket and screen are in it like the originals.

I know John Deere had a cork like material that was used as a part of theri sediment bowls about the same time. I thought it would be nice to keep one somewhat original although we use inline filters now on all the other tractors we have.

Thanks Wallfish and Sorekiwi and Iggy too!

I agree with you, Lane. One of the things you kinda expect to see on an old tractor is a sediment bowl, especially on the 60's vintage tractors.

I wonder if you could internally bypass the bowl and the shut off valves (where they tend to leak from) and use it purely as "decoration"...
