Welcome to the forum! Might want to put this in the Classifieds.  Then you can put a link here to let folks know.

Sounds like the piston separated! Pics would help folks see what it looks like. Help with uploading them is in my signature (Look for the large RED lettering).

Closed or open?

[bronco66]

open.............. cant find pics of it........... going to tear it down today

Welcome to GTT. Don't be so quick to write off the tractor. That two stage must be very handy this winter. There is a good chance the engine can be rebuilt. I'm in the middle of doing my LGT 125 open side. A rebuilding kit can be had for a reasonable price from some of our sponsors. If it can be fixed you will be way ahead in the long run. You can download the engine and tractor manuals from our Manuals Section. There are some techniques that have to be carefully followed when assembling a Kohler. Good Luck, Rick

welcome to GTTalk. I have to agree with Rick don't write off the tractor yet. do some research first. and then part it out if you still want.

found a good running ford lgt 145 tractor on c/l for 160.00 missing grill and clutch parts other then that its complete with ag tires the only thing different is it has a flat plate for engine not the welded in oil pan thinking about swapping parts to new one looks like my (42"
blower 50" deck ) will work on it

Are these tractors both open side or closed side?
Niether should have a flat plate to mount the engine.
It may be a replacement engine. Check that the PTO is the same.
If it is, the new tractor should be able to run the mower deck.
They made two different mounts for the blowers.
One for open side and another for closed side.

I have a Jacobson Garden tractor and I am told that the Ford LGT145 parts will fit mine. I am looking for the control handle taht is on the left side that contraols the left or right angle of the plow blade. It looks like everything else underneath up to the blade is the except for the handle. I sure would like to find one so I don't have to get off the tractor every time I want to angle the blade. If anyone has one or has any ideas where I can find one please let me know what you're looking to get for it.either here or through my email at 126andy at optonline.net. Thanks all
