Docwheelhorse 2,651 #1 Posted December 31, 2016 Happy New Year all!!!! So I took one last road trip to Alpha NJ ~225 miles one way from my house for a 1056... I have one already but the transaxle is rusted solid and the rest of the tractor needs everything. I've always had an itch for one as a short frame "big block" Kohler just screams cool to me... Its a dang shame the hood took a hit (it looks recent as the rust looks new in the crease). Its already in protected storage and I want to get it running soon... check out those wheel weights... there as heavy as they look! I did make a deal with the guy and got a 48" short / long frame plow with axle bracket, a 1998 Sears GT3000 hydro and a 197? Sears LT1036---check other posts for details. One question---Why does it have the optional PTO bell / clutch? Didn't all of these just use a spring loaded pedal operated idler pulley to engage the deck belt??

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,326 #2 Posted December 31, 2016 Nice Tony! I saw that one and wondered why it did not sell sooner. A bit of wet sanding and buffing and she will look perfect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,007 #3 Posted December 31, 2016 I think you have a 1-1/8" engine crankshaft so the optional pto kit The first 10hp models used a 1" crankshaft so Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,424 #7 Posted January 2, 2017 Tony Nice 1056. I am sure that dent can be ponded out. With the right tools on a nice flat surface. Good find enjoy the project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #8 Posted January 2, 2017 Someone put a PT-6 kit on it but did not install the front mule drive brackets or it was a swap from another model . No big deal , just find an early to mid 70's front attachment bracket that fits over the front axle pin although the pin may need to be lengthened a bit . There was an obscure set of front brackets made available to fit the front mule drive to the older model tractors - I have a set on my 1277 and use the more modern 48MS02 deck on mine . Also works nicely with the newer snow blowers as well and not hard to make one ... Sarge 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
