htopjimmy26 3 #1 Posted November 6, 2008 Hi everyone, I've just jumped into the old/antique? tractor arena. Until now I have been able to cut grass and exchange other attatchments between all my tractors in my sig, I probably would not have considered purchasing this small/old tractor but the price was right-$150 . So home I came with the little bundle of joy, anyway It needs alot of work and Toro parts viewer doesn't view this one [go figure], does anyone have the name of that manual forum? I promise to get pics someday soon as I get it running. It needs to be completely rewired and various clips/springs/bushings/and stuff replaced if I can find any. Is there anything cool about this model? All my others are at least 13 years newer. Thanks. :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Bullington 5 #3 Posted November 6, 2008 well I like this year myself, If was the first year of the square hood tractors! This is my next favorite tractors after the round hoods. but personally I like riding around on these much more than my round hoods,, They just sit and ride better!! Great find!

htopjimmy26 3 #5 Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks guys, I hear that there is some sort of cool-jive-mojo ride thing going on with this era of Wheelhorse. It's kind of funny: first thing after unloading it I gave it a walkaround and then felt the irresistable urge to sit on the sopping wet seat and grab the wheel wet arse! I quickly came out of my trance and went in the house to change my shorts. Duke, is the 1055 the one that is the same small chassis but has a 10hp kohler shoehorned in? The motor looks like it barely fits . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
