I moved your thread to the Ford Lawn & Garden Forum.

guessing you have a Ford LGT145?

IF so, yes it is a garden tractor and will support a 3point or pin hitch. Either were available as options from Ford. However you may have trouble finding one - or you can make one easily (at least the pin hitch model).

On the LGT, the lift cylinder is on the right side (sitting on the tractor) frame tube beside/below the instrement pedistal.
IT bleeds pressure off the hydrostatic pump (under the seat - follow the drive shaft from the engine backward) to work the lift cylinder. Most models have only one cylinder, but a second circuit was an option as well. The control lever is on the deck in front of the seat.

Fords are good stout machines. The LGT models were really made by JAcobson and are rebadged as Fords, so most parts and manuals for the JAcobson models will work as well.

I have an LGT 165 - basically the same machine with a bigger motor...
