Picked up a 1054

Recommended Posts

This was sitting behind an old Wheel Horse dealer's building.It was stored indoors for years until a few months ago.They used to use it for moving trailers and non running tractors around their place.Shouldn't take much to get her going.

Great find on the 1054 Wheel Horse!

Looks like it is pretty complete.

Two years ago my brother David turned this :

I did some cleanup today.I removed all the stick's and leaf's that were in it,and blew it off with my compressor.I got all the mold off of the steering wheel.After that i had the broken steering arm welded,it came out perfect.If i get some time tomorrow i'm gonna pull the carb and fuel tank.Here's a few more pics.
