HorseWhisperer 243 #1 Posted May 13, 2012 I seem to have conjured up a knack for finding Horses that need rescuing from inner city rednecks!I was touring through Cortland today and I heard the cries from a 1054.I was taken the moment I laid eyes on her.After every denomination starting at 375,I honed my negotiation skills and loaded her up for 150 bucks and 8 Mcdonald cheeseburgers.I didn't look back,niether did she.Fresh gas lines,oil,points cleaning and wire repairs she fired up and hugged me!After long looking I have a 1054 back!The lift works and I couldn't be happier!Shes rough but the winters are long in upstate NY so were gonna get acquainted!Anyone got any goodies for one these lemme know 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,970 #15 Posted May 15, 2012 Very good ! It is amazing after almost 50 years how many of these 953 and 1054 tractors are still going strong ! People who bought these in 1963-thru 1965 really loved them and took pride in them as a great all-around garden tractor. Great find! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
