Phyberoptic 22 #1 Posted March 17, 2016 Picking up a 1965 1055 Wheelhorse. It has no cutting deck. Will the deck on the C145 I have fit the 1055? -=Phyber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRanger 1,469 #2 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) 1055 is a cool tractor. I don't think your c series deck will work without major mods. Doesn't the C series use a mule drive on the front of the tractor and have horizontal belt drives on the deck? The 1965 1055 will run vertical from the clutch on the right side of the tractor I believe. I guess the question is will the mule drive mount to the front of the 1055??? Plus the pulley size on the engine/clutch is different. Edited March 17, 2016 by RedRanger 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 42,051 #3 Posted March 17, 2016 The deck carriage could probable be altered to mount on the 1055. You would have to use the 1055s existing side drive and idling / clutch pulley system though as there is no PTO on the 1055. Also, the blades would be turning too slow unless you put a larger dia drive pulley on the engine or smaller one on the deck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 60,098 #4 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) The 1055 is a short frame and I am not too sure the later mower decks will even fit between the tires. This is the type deck that is proper for the 1055. This file will give you all the decks etc. that will fit.

Phyberoptic 22 #5 Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks, thats what I figured, but worth a try. I'm not going to mod it even if it did fit. the 1055 looks like a tank and has a plow so maybe it will just get non cutting duties.... -=Phyber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought everything larger than 8hp were long frames, or "longer" frames? Looking at the interchange pdf, I see what your saying though. 11 hours ago, Phyberoptic said: Thanks, thats what I figured, but worth a try.

No wonder the 1055 looks so bad ass with that engine stuffed in there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phyberoptic 22 #9 Posted March 18, 2016 Wow, coming home with the rig I stopped for coffee and a guy walks up and offers me $300 more than I had just paid for the 1055. So we backed the trucks up and transferred the machine. He'd been looking for one cuz that's what his dad had when he was growing up. Back to craigslist.... -=Phyber 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
