WH 1054

[Cjwv1975 64]

Looking at a 1054. Body looks solid and all parts look to be there. Doesnt run but engine is free and comes with snow plow and chains.  Asking 300 and for another 150 a one bottom plow. Sound fair?

So far, yes. Find out why it was parked though, before you buy it......

Any pics?

If everything is there it sounds like a good deal. Hunting parts and pieces can get expensive.

Looks like the right side belt guard and left side cover are made of tread plate.  That's not original, but looks like it works

Yeah he told me he made covers for those. He does have the belt cover for engine though.

Plus he has orginal oil air filter for it. Going to try and get him to throw in one bottom plow with it

Neat looking tractor.

 

Hopefu,lly, the replacement belt cover has the belt supports to make sure the clutch will fully release.

The belt sider cover on a 953/1054 has no lower belt guide, that is done by a piece of angle iron bolted to the engine and rear of the frame..

I know it has the front belt piece not sure about rear. He sent me a video of last time it was running and I know at that time hydraulics worked. He said its been garage keep the whole time he's own it. I am going to buy it next wk hopefully. Been looking for a 1054 and this should be a nice winter project

If you need to rebuild the Hein-Werner pump or cylinder on the 1054 you can gat the needed springs and seals from Lowell.  https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/wheel-horse-1054-hy-pump-cylinder-seal-kit-with-spring-5261/

Picked up the 1054 yesterday.  All body there except clutch side panel and front/rear lense covers. Gentleman said he had it running 5yrs ago but he hasnt messed with it since but has been stored in shed until 3wks ago.  Hydraulics worked at that time also.  Think i am going to leave as it is paint wise, clean rims up, get new front tires and get seat redone.

Looks rough but savable. 

The front lens are available from WH Parts n more... rear is unobtainium. 

 

Did you get the plow?  They were made just for a 953/1054 and are somewhat rare and somewhat $$ IF you can find one. 

[Cjwv1975 64]

Body is solid with no rot. I got push plow with it. He had a one bottom plow but his friend wanted it.

Save it!  They are great Wheel Horse tractors!    They helped revolutionize mowing and yard work.   First 48 inch mower deck, 54 inch snowplow.dozer blade and they could not make enough of them!
