Firpo701 407 #1 Posted July 12, 2014 A friend of mine informed me last night of a 953 he found in a boneyard in Lucasville Ohio. We got together this morning to check it out, and....needless to say...I brought it home for $250.00! The wiring is a little messed up, but nothing major. It came with the deck and a turning plow off of who knows what! All the belt guards are there as well as the oil bath breather! Even had the original owners manual! The engine sounds wonderful, no smoke or rattles! Going to have to do something about the Chevrolet steering wheel someone put on it. Lol. I'm tickled to death! Always wanted a 953! Its still sinking in that I now have one! Maybe the 701 won't be so lonley now! Happy Horsing everyone! ;-) 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digger 66 3,488 #7 Posted July 12, 2014 I drove by a "porch-sale" today in northwestern PA & spotted an old round hood . I couldn't stop because I already had something in the box . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firpo701 407 #8 Posted July 12, 2014 Yep...that steering wheel has got to go! Was there any difference in the 953 and the 1054 wheels? Too bad you had a full box Digger...you may have ran onto a bargain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdleach 525 #9 Posted July 12, 2014 I like, berry much so. There is something very "tractor" about those models. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
