smoreau 658 #3 Posted July 26, 2012 I'm not that familiar with the early 60's square hoods, but you stole if at that price! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JUSS10 250 #10 Posted July 27, 2012 seriously?! these 953/1054s are coming out of the woodwork like crazy. i swear this has to be like the 5th or 6th one that popped up in this forum in the last 2 months! That was a steal! Man i really wish another one of these things would come my way.... patience i guess... Congrats on the find! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricksrj58 273 #11 Posted July 27, 2012 how can you tell the two apart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rydogg 186 #12 Posted July 27, 2012 They both use a kohler k241 engine but the spec number is different so if you still have the kohler tag with the spec number you can tell that way....Spec. 46135A is a 953 / Spec 47176 is a 1054 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,601 #13 Posted July 27, 2012 I believe the 1054 and 1054A use K241S-46215A 47176 is a 12hp K301. Noticed this is wrong in service bulletin 301E. Garry Should have added the 34661 is a 1963 serial number. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
