Tins & head bolts are no problem 953 Nut. there just happened to be on that popular auction site that had all the correct tins. Even the correct SG bracket will come easy, its the correct head that's gonna let the moths out of the wallet! From what I have seen so far NOS ones are available yet at over 100 and used ones not much less than that. Time to scavenge the bone yards & pick through bins at the tractor shows. The Pioneer Power show we go to doesn't have much in the way of parts save for a auction where motors may be available for parts. Didn't you mention a huge swap meet in the spring at PP Tom? If you go let me know will have to have you do some lookin for me...after all this tractor might end up in your herd!

Shynon 7,435 #29 Posted April 25, 2017 Going to PP spring swap meet with @prondzy . I should have all the parts you need. That generator bracket and belt guard are special to that motor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,902 #30 Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Little up date here as I recently scored on another 1055 that was local. Another non-runner fer sure and transmission in this one feels real gritty too and does not go into all gears. The good news is it does have the motor parts to make one out two so that's the plan. After some searching here there really isn't much here on RS on this model. In fact the only pictures I could find was of @953 nut's So I'm thinking while not rare just something we don't hear much of...the short frames with a big block. First thing will be to strip down both tractors to sort out the best motor & frame to start building on. Dash must have been changed out ... T handle controls & electric clutch switch hole???? I think the mud daubers liked those empty points holes! Also what's with the lever on the side of the fuel pump? From the duct tape files The bracket Tom mentioned Moss grows fat on a non rolling horse Edited June 5, 2017 by WHX11 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,312 #31 Posted June 5, 2017 Let me know if you decide to part with the dash. Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,902 #32 Posted June 5, 2017 Hanks got dibs on the dash & it's yours Jay, I will definitely be going to use the original style. Be warned that it might be awhile tho as I don't plan to get started on this till end of summer and get some other projects out of the shop. let me know if you need it sooner and if I get the time I'll get if off. Oh by the way if you want the dash the seat HAS to go with it!! I'll be using this one 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,312 #33 Posted June 5, 2017 sounds good. I have a seat frame I will trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,902 #35 Posted June 5, 2017 Note the two different steering wheels, I'm thinking the 2nd one is correct but the 1st is a WH one. I'll peel it off real careful Dan and it's yours! Note the rad regulator mounting bracket.... yours too! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,926 #36 Posted June 5, 2017 The second one is a lot more original, first one has running boards and dash from later model. 4 hours ago, WHX11 said: what's with the lever on the side of the fuel pump? That is a primer lever, they stopped using them after 1965. I think they are great, even put one on my 312-8. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Backwards Richard but you are correct, The first one is more original chassis wise but the engine was funked, second one engine is orig but chassis is funky. That's the beauty of both tractors one has what the other needs. Will make for a good marriage I think. What's the chances of finding two tractors for less than 150 clams local like this? Think maybe the Ponds are looking out for me or the horses? Interesting notation about the boards, I had first glance thought they were just some cobbled on affair from not even a Was raining pitchforks & hammer handles the day I went to look at. After I got it home and did some more looking and come up with the speculation that a PO had a Raider that some things came off of? for the upside down pic Also note the sticker indent on the belt guard, is that correct? and the seat latch....the more I study my own pics the clearer things become about her sordid past! much better Edited June 5, 2017 by WHX11 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
