Circus Man 0 #1 Posted September 2, 2008 How hard is it to find a snow blower for my 1054? What kind of hardware do i need to run one? Never had one,know nothing about em. Thanks for any info! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #2 Posted September 2, 2008 I have a 1054A and I do not know anything about a snowblower. But if you go to the Toro parts viewer. Plug in your model (1054) it will come up with a link to assembly drawings as well as attachments/options. Hope you find it there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Circus Man 0 #3 Posted September 2, 2008 The snow thrower for the tractor is ST-374orST-375 37"snow thrower use with PT-5 power take Does anyone have one,or know where one is? and what should i expect to pay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh500special 2,092 #4 Posted September 2, 2008 I think you are going to have a hard time finding a thrower for that model of tractor. While the tractor is a real stud in the WH herd, it was phased out 40+ years ago and used some unique hardware to attach the implements. Post a wanted ad here and on the Yahoo groups and hope for the best. Also keep a close eye on eBay since this is the time of year when throwers start showing up regularly. Prices for a used thrower depend heavily on time of year and location. You might get one as cheap as $50 but don't be surprised to find one in October/November for 5 times that or more. Unless you're in a lake effect area, a blade might be all you need. You'd be surprised what a chained up, tall narrow tired tractor like yours can push. And, unless you're faced with daily dumpings, the blades are usually faster to use. Best of luck, Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #8 Posted September 3, 2008 Ok....now it is time for me to be a good guy. I have a 1989 snowblower that came set up for my GT-14. I believe with a little fabin....it could work on the 1054. This is a nice piece that was "funk a fide". Someone sprayed the auger with undercoating..... It still works fine.....just weird. Email me if your interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big mike 13 #9 Posted September 4, 2008 Mike,is it undercoating or graphite paint? They look the same.....pretty bad in my opinion,but it is supposed to work real good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Circus Man 0 #10 Posted September 4, 2008 Thanks Joel Im watching ,but my mileage cal.said 990mile round trip.($300.00 in fuel) watching may be all that i do :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
combatmp29r 27 #11 Posted September 4, 2008 Ok remind me where you are again? We might be able to get it moved closer by wagon train. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linen beige 14 #12 Posted September 4, 2008 Thanks Joel Im watching ,but my mileage cal.said 990mile round trip.($300.00 in fuel) watching may be all that i do It's a little over a thousand miles for me, round trip, so I guess I'll just have to sit and watch too. I'm getting used to doing that. :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #13 Posted September 4, 2008 No...it is definately undercoat.... I guess your going for originality as opposed to just needing something to throw the snow. I am a lot closer than 900 miles. I am 270 miles distant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Circus Man 0 #14 Posted September 4, 2008 Sorry about that Mike ,I ment to reply back . A local mower shop has one for $50 dont know what it fits. I appreciate the offer thank you.You know air craft stripper would probably take that stuff right off.But then it would need paint because it takes everything off :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big mike 13 #15 Posted September 4, 2008 Wonder why they would have sprayed undercoat on it.....one of the things that makes you go....hmmmmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Circus Man 0 #16 Posted September 4, 2008 Some people use it as a rust cover instead of a preventer I hope that wasnt the case :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #17 Posted September 4, 2008 I don't think rust was the case. I really think he was trying to quiet the unit...... :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
