Sparky-(Admin) 21,296 #1 Posted March 25, 2014 Can someone tell me what the two tire sizes that were available on the rear of a 1054 are? I'm to lazy to trek out to the shed to see for myself....figured I would use the vast knowledge base here . Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacer 3,168 #4 Posted March 25, 2014 Why do I wanna remember it was 6.40-15?? I think because I had never heard of such a size?? Whatever, you aint gonna get any today... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"D"- Man 827 #5 Posted March 25, 2014 I only ever knew of one size, 6.40-15 as has been stated. B.F. Goodrich Silvertown power grip was used as the lug tread. Not sure what the turf tread tire was. Mark. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,296 #6 Posted March 25, 2014 Ok, went and laid eyes on the 1054 I'm getting next week. The rears are 6.40x15 Silvertown Ag's but the guy I'm buying it from has a pair of unmounted 27x8.50x15 turf tires and a pair of 15" 4 lug wide rims that I could have instead of the Silvertowns. My question is...did the 1054 come with both size rear rims or could the wide ones be GT-14 rims ? Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"D"- Man 827 #7 Posted March 25, 2014 The 953's and 1054's only came with 4.5" wide rims the GT-14's were wider I am not sure just how much wider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,296 #8 Posted March 25, 2014 The 953's and 1054's only came with 4.5" wide rims the GT-14's were wider I am not sure just how much wider. That would explain the wide rims I was offered. Now I need to decide if I want skinny originals or non-original wide rear rubber . Mike............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 604 #9 Posted March 26, 2014 Question it do you want it stock. I like the look of wide tires. If we were talking about an RJ I think the narrow tires look better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm definitely leaning towards stock. It wont see any work, just wanted a tractor for tooling around at shows. Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin 2,131 #11 Posted March 26, 2014 Mike, i think the standard size looks just right. it is getting really hard to find good original size tires anymore...... i was lucky and picked up a good set with nice rims from Kelly when i first got my 1054. they are getting cracked more and more from use, but what do you do, my wife (its now hers) just loves driving it around at the shows.....

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #12 Posted March 26, 2014 Here is my 953 with the original skinny ags and the 1054 with the wider turfs. I am torn too. I think I like the ags better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,296 #13 Posted March 26, 2014 Yep, still leaning towards the original rears....but.....I prefer those wider fronts on your 1054 Steve. Decisions, decisions, Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wp205a 43 #14 Posted April 29, 2014 Looked for a thread on turf vs. ag for rear on an 854, no luck. What size turfs do you guys use on my model? Since I'll just sickle mow, no use in getting ags when mine blow out. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
