TIGman 2,006 #1 Posted July 26, 2016 First off I would like to say a BIG Thank you!!! to Glen Pettit for the awesome headlight lenses and gaskets that I picked for the 1054. Finally had some time to install the lenses tonight after work. I think the Ole 1054 is pretty happy now. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Big Brother stopped by the house when I was working on it and he really liked it too. I even had to start it up for him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,498 #9 Posted July 28, 2016 My biggest problem with the 953 I just picked up now is figuring out how to put the trans back together and seeing if I have all of the parts for it. If not, I'll be on the hunt - wanna trade? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might want to check the manual section and see if there is a transmission manual for the 953. Good luck!! on your restoration. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,153 #11 Posted July 29, 2016 I just replied in @dells68 953 post a bit of good news, the majority of the internal parts are the same as other three speeds so the options are not limited to 953/1054. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's good news 953 !!! Things might be a little easier to find and get the tranny going again. Anxious to see Dells get his 953 back up and running. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
