jaydeer 14 #1 Posted November 25, 2010 I am currently looking at a complete 1054, good shape mechanically and sheet metal wise, no major issues other than a hole in the side of the deck that can be repaired. Has the headlight covers and the oil bath for the carb. Also has wheel weights, although not wheel horse weights. Seller is asking 900.00. I thought this was a bit steep. Anyone have any thoughts?

jwilbt 0 #2 Posted November 25, 2010 I just recently passed up a 1054 that I would describe fairly similarly for $400 but was missing one headlight assembly, needed new AG tires and had a relocated battery box. Not huge issues, but I decided to walk away vs. negotiating the price. Otherwise, the tractor was in decent mechanical condition. While I was looking at that one, there was another one on C/L somewhere in PA; maybe a bit less condition than the one I was looking at, but also $400. The same $400 got me a nice little C-81 with mower, snow thrower, wheel weights, chains and snow cab, all in very decent running condition. Seems like $900 is steep.

WH854 44 #3 Posted November 25, 2010 If it is located in Pa. I think these sellers think they have a gold mine in their garage. In my opinion that price is out of line for the age. But that is just me. By the way Happy Thanksgiving I would not sell my three ( 1964 854, 1981 C-105,and 1981 C-165, for for that amount imdividually, because of the attachment I have to them These tractors grow on you if you know what I mean. Just like one of my kids. Chas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,520 #4 Posted November 25, 2010 A 1964 1054 for $900 would need to be in very good shape in my opinion to have that kind of pricetag. I don't think of the five we own that we have had a price tag of more than $650. And the $650 one was with a 54 inch snowplow, 48 inch mower deck and spare transmission to boot!

HorseFixer 2,012 #5 Posted November 26, 2010 I have to agree with everyone else thats steep unless it was in excellent shape! Good Luck! ~Duke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeek 2,284 #7 Posted November 26, 2010 If it is located in Pa. I think these sellers think they have a gold mine in their garage. You got that right. I looked at a non-running major resto project Friday and the guy tells me he wants a $1,000 I got in my car and drove away. He'll be storing that for a few more years . . .

jaydeer 14 #8 Posted November 28, 2010 Thanks for your help guys. I think I will let this ride with my current offer of 700. I found a 520h and a 1277, both in really nice shape for about the same price. Now if anyone has a nice 1054 near NW PA let me know. May trade for it.

sorekiwi 761 #9 Posted November 29, 2010 I'm still kicking myself for not buying the 1054 you had for sale a couple of years ago! So you must be really kicking yourself for selling it! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trouty56 565 #10 Posted November 29, 2010 I hope to have a 1054 someday. I really like the look of that tractor with those tall rear wheels and mean front end. Maybe next year!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
