This sale is for a 1974 Jacobsen GT10 Tractor with a 42\" mower deck. It has a Kohler 10 hp engine and a 4 speed manual transmission.I\'m listing this for my neighbors who bought this new in 1974 and have used it to cut their lawn every year since then. That makes it 42 years old and it still cuts the grass great. However, they bought a new tractor this year so it\'s time to let it go.
The positives: Kohler 10 hp engine starts right up and runs strong, no smoke or bad noises. 42\" mower deck is solid, blades were new last season. Tires all hold air and are in good shape. It has been well maintained - oil changed and all grease fittings lubed every season and pretty well whatever else it needed. Original owner\'s manual, parts catalog, and mower deck manual are included.
The negative: It has the Ross steering gear and like so many of these in tractors like this, it is very worn. There is 1/2 to 5/8 turn of free play in the steering wheel, that\'s quite a bit and one day it\'s going to fail. There is a seller here on who sells a rebuilding kit for these gears and I\'m pretty sure that\'s all this one needs. Also the seat is getting to be in bad shape but that\'s to be expected after 42 years; most don\'t look nearly this good.
All in all this is a really nice tractor for it\'s age, and if the steering gear is fixed, a great one.
There will be no shipping - you will have to pick it up in Laurys Station, PA 18059 - about 10 miles north of Allentown.
If you have any questions, just ask and I\'ll get back to you.Thanks for looking!
