Ford Lawn Tractors

[SoulWinner]

Hi everybody. Anyone remember the old Ford Lawn Tractors? Well, my dad has a Ford LGT 110. Right now I'm restoring/rebuilding it for him (I made a LOT of money on thatold tractor when I was a kid, I wore it out, so I'm fixin' it up). I am having trouble finding pullies for the mower deck, a steering wheel, and fuel tank. Anybody know where I might find some parts? Anyone out there have an old Ford lawn tractor?

Ndemge,<br /><br />Yep, I been all over that web site, and MANY others. The little Ford LGT models are not like JD, allis Chalmers etc, that are collectable and still have parts available for them. Finding some of the pullies for the mower deck might be a chore. I love this littel tractor...man they don't them like they used to. This one was made by Jacobson. It has a heavey tube chasis, zurk fittings everywhere, a huge transaxle with an H pattern shift and 6 or seven speeds. Man...dad is so excited about getting the old beast fixed up.

I had an LGT (125 I think). Anyway, it was the 12 horse hydrostatic. I got all my parts from the New Holland dealer. There wasn't anything that they did not have or could not order.

How long ago was that?? I called the local dealer and he said he could no longer get anything for my mower I will call one in another city and see if the story is the same.

Re: Ford Lawn Tractors

Dude, I called my local NewHolland place again and spoke with a really knowledgable guy who ordered my deck pullies for me. Gotta go pick them up today. I am reassembling the tractor and deck now. It looks like new! My dad is gonna love it.
