DennisThornton 4,769 #1 Posted November 2, 2021 First Ford/Jacobsen GT I've owned. Winter project perhaps but there's a long list... It seems well built but nothing exceptional although the cast aluminum is remarkable. Only the second tiller attachment I have. Will be interesting to compare it to my WH tiller. Pictures don't show it but I have all the sheet metal. PO tore it down some and started to restore it. It's in pretty good shape overall, except for being a basket case of parts! 4 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxwell-8 4,275 #3 Posted November 2, 2021 Great score! Everything looks to be there. Would love to own a Ford GT as I am a ford guy, but haven't seen a single one around here. remarkable how they protected the mowerdeck spindels against the acid from the grass. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, it is here now, just in a pile on the ground! Big car port is also waiting on me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I've always wanted one. Ford guy here too. Always wanted a Ford 8N but I've sort of gotten over that or perhaps upped the ante to a Ford 2000 or up instead. And yes, while I see little that is exceptional about the tractor the deck is both robust, light-weight AND I think nicely engineered with those grass shields getting my attention right off the bat! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 2,048 #8 Posted November 6, 2021 A guy I work with picked up a LT14A not long ago. He tore it down, painted it, fired the engine on the bench and broke his brother's wrist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
