Hi Fellas, I thought a while ago I saw someone post a link for plans to make a tiller lift bar. If someone else saw that, could they please let me know where it was? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer Kevin, that is really nice of you. I am not really in need of it right now, but last week I found somewhere where there was some cad drawings of the dimensions is you were to make one. I have a 1972 140 and I am not really sure which one I need. I don't have a tiller, but will need one for my home made 3 point that will run off the lift bar. I mostly just wanted the drawing for when I get around to making it. I should have saved it when I found it. Doh! Thanks again for your offer.

Bonita, I think the place in Illinois that Roger is talking about my be Davenport Tractor. (Actually in Iowa) I bought my manual for my 140 there and am happy with it.

Are deck hangers for a 140 still available through Deere? I can't seem to find them on JohnDeereParts. Thanks.

I have a 48 deck. Really all I need is the one side that is adjustable. I recently got a good deal on a 54c blade and to mount it and have the lift work, it requires the adjustable style hangers as near as I can figure. Thanks for the part numbers, that helps a lot.

Has anyone mounted a 33 tiller and a 54c belly blade on a machine at the same time? I was thinking about it and it looks like the bolts for the blade mounting bracket would be in the way. Just curious.

Kurt, I used that same paint on a rusty receiver hitch I sand blasted. Maybe it won't get stuck in the receiver now.

Does anyone know of a good place to get an affordable set of cat 0 lift arms? I want to make a 3 point hitch for my 140.

Thanks,
Dan

Any idea how long the lift arms should be? I plan to anchor them about where the mounting studs for my 33 tiller are.

I am looking for instructions in adjusting or rebuilding the front pto on a 1971 140. I thought I saw it here once but can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. The pulley on mine is loose and spins long after the tractor is turned off.

Is there a way to find out what dealership a particular tractor was originally sold from? I have a 140 and I was curious as to whether it came from a dealership my great uncle used to operate.

 

[HodakaD]

Thanks Roger. That stinks though.

 

[HodakaD]

Kurt, Thanks for the info. I will have to see if my local dealer has access to that information. Do you know if the dealer your friend had asked was a lawn and garden dealer our one of the big ag dealers?

I am curious, how many here prefer a hand operated hydro on their tractor over a foot control? I like the hand control my self. I don't like having my foot welded to one spot when I mow. Though I understand the advantage of foot control for loader work.

 

[HodakaD]

A little off topic, but am I the only one who can't get into the gallery? Anyone know when it will be operational again if not?

Dan

 

[HodakaD]

Paul, are there any close-up pictures of you replicas? I would like to see them.

Dan

 

[HodakaD]

WOW Paul, those are some of the most proportionally correct looking minis that I have ever seen. You do really nice work.

Can someone tell me what tractors this deck fits? I only know the serial number. It is 034363M. The seller says it was off a round fender, but I think it is for a 300 series or a 140. It is advertised as a 48 inch deck.

Thanks, Dan
