I have now accumulated an H3 1970 140 tractor with a 54" blade, a #8" mower deck, a #33 tiller and a 3 point hitch all for $900 in less than 2 months.

I was wondering what was the original purchase price of these items. Any idea what they might have cost back in '70.

These are for the 1974 model year, but that is the only 140 pricing info I have.

Hi Kenny. Yeah, right at 2 grand just for a 140 H-3 with no attachments. I was only 2 1/2 when this price sheet was made, but I guess to me back then a 140 and attachments would be pretty much the same as buying a new X series 4wd diesel and attachments now, just way too expensive

Hi Stan. If I get time later today or tomorrow, I'll snoop on JD's web site, but those prices probably aren't too far off from today's prices, especially if you use whatever the current top of the line, 2wd gas tractor is.
