slf-uk 914 #27 Posted April 13, 2017 The 1054 has been my firewood tractor all winter and has performed well. Joseph decided to take it for a spin around the garden, he is really getting the hang of driving these GT's. I like the way that he does not go mad with them.

slf-uk 914 #30 Posted October 7, 2018 We have not used John's old 1054, the famous red Bolens since the snow. As we were finishing clearing the snow it started to run rough, probably due to dirt in the carb. Today we spend some workshop time on the 1054. The back of this tractor has always looked a little odd and I final realised why, it is missing the tool box. Picture of one of my other 1054's I found a spare tool box in my spares store and Joseph worked on fitting that, using his new socket set That looks so much better although it could do with some paint With the cosmetics out of the way, the carb was removed and put through the ultrasonic cleaner. Fortunately the inside was a little cleaner than the exterior The tractor has always had an odd whistle, has been down on power and it would stall if you tried to use third gear. With the carb removed I think I found the answer to all those issues as the inlet manifold was very loose. New gaskets were made for the inlet manifold, valve cover and points cover. Then oil change and lots of new parts including generator belt, air filter, points and plug. We finished up by checking it over front to rear, removing all the long grass wrapped around the prop shaft and greasing it up. I wonder how all that long grass got there Alan We then took it for a long test drive and it runs great. We still have a few jobs to do. It needs a new battery installed and a PTO refreshed and installed. It was great to spend some time on this tractor.

Triumph66 1,256 #33 Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Great to see that you got it running well; in time for the hard winter forecasted. I see you have corrected the Husky spelling! Edited October 8, 2018 by Triumph66 1 slf-uk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
