Need parts and better yet manuals for Jacobsen GT14H (same as Ford LGT145). Specifically the mower deck. It's a crying shame to have to throw away a perfectly good tractor because I can't find parts or information. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
i like to tinker around with old garden tractors, and i think you are going to have a hard time finding a deck for your tractor. i would suggest finding a big lawn/garden place with a bunch of old mowers out back, and simply find a deck from another type of tractor and do some fabrication to make it fit. a little welding is all that would be required.
Several Years Ago, I had a Ford LGT 120, which had to have a deck as it to had holes in it.
I ordered one from the local Ford dealer complete with spindles and all, at that time this 42" deck was $750.00.
A lot for a deck but I needed a mower.
It was made by Jacobsen , I think it was shipped from Michigan and I was told at that time it was the last complete deck in captivity.

check this out on ebay...seller has a buy it now... its not for auction as of now-I think. Says it's off of a LGT120 (looks similar to my Jacobsen/Homelite GT12H deck.....)
