:Welcome1:

The 140 should have a 14 hp Kohler, the K-321.

A great place for info and parts is the Yahoo group for these tractors, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Jacobsen_Ford_Garden_Tractors/

Price depends on condition, whether it includes any accessories, etc. I've seen them go for over $1000 fully restored. Average price seems to be about $300-400 though.

And :wwp:

Sounds like you got a great deal. Those old Fords with Kohlers are pretty tough. :thThumbsU

Congradulations on a good deal! Your tractor was made by Jacobsen. They made these for Ford, Oliver, White, and MM.
Your "new" tractor should be the cousin to my 2 Jacobsen 1450's. Is yours hydro or gear drive? I think hydro's were 145's and gear driven were 140's.
Did it have the deck with it? Most of these had the 42" cast alum. decks which are great - no rust.
I use my 2 year round and they are still going strong - all original, even the tires!
Parts can be tough. Ebay is about the best bet - Joe's outdoor power equip. usually has some parts. There was an outfit named Correll's (sp) who bought all of Jacoben's remaining stock but they have sold out and I don't know who has the parts now.
Good luck with your new toy!
