my new $100 find,not sure what it is.

[ricksrj58 273]

picked this up for $100 ,needs a new hood and seat along with tlc. any ideas what it is?

[Jake Kuhn 1,581]

Wow! Thats one great find,Wish I could find one of those for a price like that. That is either a 1963 953 or a 1964 1054. Jake

I'm not that familiar with the early 60's square hoods, but you stole if at that price!

[Shuboxlover 482]

The head alone MAY be worth more than you paid for the entire thing......nice score, CONGRATS!!!!!

nice find i want one :bow-blue:

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,590]

I think it is a 953 like mine. Sure wish I had a mower deck for mine...

[VinsRJ 723]

First off nice score!

Steve I just got rid of a mower deck for a 953/1054

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,590]

thanks Vin... twice within a week.... :ychain:

[Trouty56 567]

I feel sick......

[JUSS10 250]

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!

[ricksrj58 273]

how can you tell the two apart

[rydogg 186]

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

[gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,753]

I believe the 1054 and 1054A use K241S-46215A

47176 is a 12hp K301. Noticed this is wrong in service bulletin 301E.

Should have added the 34661 is a 1963 serial number.
