Hi there, First time poster with an opportunity at a '68 140 H3, serial is something like 02036. Browsing pics of the 140 I notice some have dual brake pedals. When did they do this? Was it an option? When did they put the notch in the frame for the points? The serial seems too low for this...

For you history buffs, I recently located the original sales receipt for a 1968 140 H3 and attachments purchased new in March 1968 by my grandfather. The tractor, 48 rotary mower, 54" front blade with angle kit and 33 rotary tiller totaled $2,056 ... ~$14,800 in 2018 dollars. The tractor and...

I am selling this nearly all-original 1968 John Deere 140 H3 (serial number 3857 M) with its four original attachments, all owned since new by my family. Tractor was used mostly for mowing grass and removing snow at a suburban Minneapolis home. All equipment was always stored in a shed or...

I'm looking for a 140 H3 in or around MN. Let me know what you've got! I'm okay with work/restoration needed. Currently looking for a winter project to finish and use next spring. Blower and tiller attachments would be great, too! Thanks!

I bought this a few years ago to do a few projects, they got done (moving about 60 yards of gravel and about 100 yards of dirt), and it's been sitting in my garage ever since. I hate to let this go, but I would rather have the space in my garage back. The loader works great, but the left-hand...

Well, it has been a while since I posted here. I acquired a 1972 140 that was tired & I had an itch to try a power steering mod. I got my inspiration from an old thread by Vince Yoder. So, I'm putting this thread out here to list the restoration and document the power steering mod with...

Hello, New member here but I have checked this site frequently through the years. I am looking to purchase a 140 H3 for use as a back up mower. It doesn't need to be a restored beauty (in fact I would rather not go this direction), but needs to be mechanically sound and in decent shape...

Hi - I am restoring a '73 H3 140 and found that my gas tank has too many leaks to repair. Does anyone have one for sale? I'm up on the east coast of Canada..... Thanks! Spud

I'm fixing a '73 140 and sat out for 2 years. Hydraulic levers all move together in one motion rather than independantly. I removed the set screw on the last arm on the inside (and the linkages to the spool valve obviously), but damn thing won't come off. Am I missing something, as I don't...

I have recently purchased a 1970 140 H3 (-10,000) and i have seemed to develop a question that i have yet to find a solid answer to. This is the first tractor i have had that uses transmission fluid for the hydraulics as well. After changing out all the fluids i cant determine if its best to top...
