TIGman 2,006 #1 Posted June 24, 2016 Picked up the 1054 at the auction this afternoon along with the 54" dozer/snow blade. Other attachments they sold separately. Got so busy with guys congratulations on the tractor did not hear what other items went for.... Told the owner I will send him a few photos when I get done fixing her up. His Uncle bought it new in 1964. PS it drives like a dream!! 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the way it drives/ steers in the yard. Had it setting by the "Box Store" rider I use for mowing now, the 1054 made it look like my granddaughter's toy tractor.... lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,963 #5 Posted June 24, 2016 Yep, too bad... I think those attachments are what made the deal, as they all appear to be correct items to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIGman 2,006 #6 Posted June 24, 2016 Yes they were, after looking at the 1964 WH brochure that came with the tractor. Did get an extra hydraulic pump, and tire chains with the tractor. Only things to address are a missing right headlight lens, oddball tread design right front tire and the seat cushions. Other than that, all complete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIGman 2,006 #11 Posted June 24, 2016 You guys are awesome!! That really helps knowing where to find parts. One of the bidders after the auction wanted to know if I wanted to buy one of his tractors. One of you guys told about some tire treatment that you can get at NAPA. Can't remember the name of the stuff?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,369 #14 Posted June 24, 2016 Great score on the auction. It's great to see you follow this from start to finish and bring the prize home. Now just swing a bit south to Missouri so you can drop it off to it's real home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse46 519 #20 Posted June 24, 2016 I know the feeling it's easy to get carried away. I really like what you did buy though, it has a real unique look to it, I don't think we got them in the UK? Look forward to seeing what you do with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going to restore it, and that's what I told the owner at the auction. He was very happy to hear that. Told him I will send some photos when done. Just curious what part of the UK you are located? I had a good friend who lived in Sheffield. I read that earlier somewhere in the forum that the Model 1054 was not available in the UK . Don't know why? As my friend in Sheffield used to say, "Cheers and Beers" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse46 519 #22 Posted June 24, 2016 Sheffield is "oop North" from me, a great industrial area in its heyday, sadly all the skills are slowly disappearing in our modern world. I think the 1054 was before they came to europe? I'm from the most southern part Wales, pretty much drive my tractor into the sea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to tease him about Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood. I will be sure to post photos of the 1054 when done so you can check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
