I'm a tractor and motorcycle enthusiast that decided to share my experiences with the purchases and restorations with you guys and gals. A little show and repair info on these items I have a passion for. Thanks for watching!!
Was there a grip you had to remove on that lift lever? I have a 116 I'm trying to get the shell off of and it's such a pain. I removed the groove pin on the steering wheel but it doesn't come off.. so that's preventing me from removing the dash tower and then the lift lever is preventing me from taking off the rear fender... I've been trying to look for hours.. Might have to get creative.
@@NohCry i replaced the grip on the lift lever. The steering wheel also would not come off without me destroying it. I removed the steering shaft and left the shaft through the dash . The shifter ball i used a adjustable wrench around the shaft below the ball and tapped it with a hammer forcing it off. Im going off what i can remember. That was quite a few years ago. Lol
No 140's for sale at the moment. really not much at all for sale. I move the collection around from time to time as I can't keep them all. I'm north east of St.Louis Mo. on the Illinois side.
What’s the left side pedal for? I was thinking maybe you could do a video on the features of these 140s, and maybe a comparison with the 120 as well? A lot of people, including myself, didn’t know these had a seat adjuster lever (supposedly from ‘72 on), cigarette lighter, some had a single brake and some had two drums, etc. Also, I’ve noticed the headlight wiring is often disconnected and / or removed on these, so maybe a video on the wiring? I’ve noticed a difference in the voltage regulators, as far size and number of terminal connections. Best of all, would be a video showing all of your implements being attached / used with the sleeve hitch. I think my favorites would be the grader blade, box scraper, and last but not least, the trailer hitch adaptor -if you have one. For my arthritic back and knee, that would be great to put the ball under the tongue and lift it with the tractor.
I don't have enough 140's to show all the differences by year but here is a little bit of info about the pedals, you can go to tractordata.com for the serial number to year info. SN 1,001 to 10,000- One pedal on the left side that is a disconnect clutch pedal through the first part of depressing it and actuates brakes when fully down. Brakes on both rear wheels. Both H-1 and H-3 models. SN 10,001 to 38,000- Two right side pedals and one left side pedal. Left side pedal is a neutral return through first part of depressing it and a clutch disconnect when fully down. Right side pedals are individual brakes. Brakes on both rear wheels. Both H-1 and H-3 models. SN 38,001 to 46,608- One left side pedal. Pedal is a neutral return through first part of depressing it and a brake pedal when fully down. No disconnect clutch. Brake only on right rear wheel. H-1 models only. SN 38,001 to 46,883- Two right side pedals and one left side pedal. Left side pedal is a neutral return through first part of depressing it and a clutch disconnect when fully down. Right side pedals are individual brakes. Brakes on both rear wheels. H-3 models only. SN 46,609 and higher for H-1 models and SN 46,884 and higher for H-3 models- One left side and two right side pedals.

I recently bought a ‘72 140 H1, and was happy to find it. It has a sleeve hitch, and it’s in nice condition….Hood, headlight panel, seat, you name it….all nice. I just have to get it running. Suspect that the battery was the problem, as one post came out in my hand when I was trying to get the cable terminal off the post. What can fit onto that sleeve hitch? I’ve seen a number of sleeve hitches, but never anything that attaches to them until a recent video showing a rear grader blade of some kind, that was attached to it. -it wasn’t a Deere, was black in color. Will a plastic battery box fit in that tiny battery tray? I ask, because I don’t want the battery leaking and corroding that tray.
@@patrickflohe7427 Very nice. The sleeve hitch is for the Brinly attachments. I have the plow, grader blade, box blade, and the cultivator. You can also purchase other items like a rake, planter, even a hitch adapter to move trailers around. Not sure about a battery box fitting the small area.
Would like to get your opinion on the abilities of a 140 to pull, and more importantly STOP a lawn mower train. Our Ruritan club has 12 barrel cars that we used to pull behind a larger wheelhorse, but the tractor has seen it’s better days and beyond repair. I have several 140’s for sale in my area but I’m not familiar enough with them to know if it’s enough tractor
@@jeffreys.3322 i know a 140 would pull and stop with no issues but the 318, 322, or even better 332 would do the same with but power steering. If the power steering isn’t an issue, you should be fine. I’ve pulled car trailers and boats around with a 140 many times with zero issues.
Would you be able to make a video on where all the wires go on a solenoid for an H3 i’m trying to get mine to run, but this is the first track I’ve ever owned
Update on my earlier reply ... I bought one of these through Amazon as well ... I haven't installed I yet, but I'm guessing this will solve the issue. Thnx so much!
I think I'm going to use the big ole 16" claws 15ton Gear puller (other claws of different sizes can be put on the gear puller) , I got it over a year ago we were having a situation with heavy equipment but I never used it after that it was for sell on eBay like $65...
@@dave-o3674 it will probably work but any force at all on a 60 year old john deere steering wheel, it will break(explode). Lol been there too many times.
When you’re 6’- 6’3” and what, 220-250, you make that tractor seem tiny the way you spin that starter rod and make that tractor wiggle on start, you a big strong man. I want one but makes me worry if I’d fit on ‘er at 6’4” and 280. Sure I’d be ballast but I’d also be wearing that tractor. I’d worry I might snap that starter crank and she’s all I want for my land lol seems like I need to go bigger, mostly so I fit on the thing but also don’t break “ancient” shit.
@@joederue9900 lol 6”3 230. It’s way too small for me but they are pretty cool. . Ive owned a few but they just sit until i find one i want more. Lol The hunt is what i enjoy the most. 😆
You've got a very nice collection there! It's always a plus to get the original paperwork with any purchase whether it be mowers, tractors, guns or whatever! Congrats from Sophia, N.C.
Very nice and good job on the restoration! I've got a '71 112 w/46'' deck and a 110 w/38'' deck that was my Uncles! These are great mowers and a pleasure to mow on, imo. From Sophia, N.C.
Good looking tractor! Alternator on my 330 just froze up and snapped the belt. Any info on how to get a new belt on? Looks like I’ll need to take the radiator out
Thanks so much for this video. I have a 92 318 that a new starter didnt fix .. after digging deeper, there wasnt enough voltage to the starter. The symptoms were identical to yours tho. I was thinking time delay module prblms, and I wasnt keen in a $200 fix. Im thinking this will remedy for a whole lot less. Thnx again!
Youthful memories there. I bought one in 1990 and had it for two or three years till I found an XL 500. It was a pooch, not much power. But I beat the hell out of it, rode it like I stole it. The only thing I remember having to do it was the points once. Great beginner bike I taught a couple women and a couple friends how to ride on it. Ftr don't try to teach them on a 500 thumper. That may be considered a pooch for an expert, but for a beginner it can be a bit much low-end torque
how do you remove the yellow control panel from the black casing cover especially the choke. I cant remove the cover because the choke does not come off. what to do? I have everything off except the (black)choke knob.
Hey I just got a chappy handed down to me and it didn't come with a battery and I'm really having trouble figuring out the whole situation. Anyway I could see how yours is set up?
HDavid in South Ce I have the identical machine and have been doing a full off frame restoration. The engine is my last project. It will be beautiful. These things are beasts, and the mower decks cut grass well if the blades are sharp. Be careful driving because the go really fast. David in South Carolina
JD came out with the 332 diesel. It wasn't selling as well as they thought. So instead of redesigning a new tractor. JD made the diesel into a gas version. What that means is, you have a bullet proof tractor.
Hello....I have opportunity to buy a 110 patio tractor non running with mower and blower for 550. Don't know if it's a good value. I am just starting to collect and restore 110s. I also scored a model 80 patio cart in great shape dealer repainted for 225
My Dad bought one new... and he had to tape a wood block to the pedal so that I could reach it! I was only 8 years old when he got it. I fondly remember spending many hours driving that little mower!
