Nice lookin" Bill, thats the first Jacobsen of that model I've seen, nice job.
Look at your model and spec. # on the engine.
By my Kohler OEM reference book, they used 5 different spec. #:
Model K321AS 60135A, 1971
K321S 60138A, 1970
K321S 6013B, 1969
K321S 60140A, 1978
K321S 60140D, 1978
Keep in mind, those years listed are when Kohler built the engine for Jacobsen. Doesn't mean the year of tractor, but should be close, as long as it hasn't been repowered with another Kohler engine.
Nice tractor though, love the old stuff! Tony

Your welcome Bill, try to help out when I can.


Herb, other than paint and decals, they are the same. Jacobsen made these for Ford, Minneapolis Moline, Oliver, and White at the time. Its nice to see so many nice ones still in service - not bad for almost 40 years old. I run my 2 1450's year round - 3 decks, 42" plow, 36" 2 stage blower and an extra 1450 for parts.
