stored it about 10 years ago. Had new seat material put on it and it does look nice but with this clutch being bad he can't exercise it much. I went to the Warner electric web site and have been piecing together what I need to know about this clutch. It is called a reverse mount and a 1 1/8 start size is needed. I can't tell the torque level and I'm not sure of the pulley grove specs. It seems like the Warmer site might give me a direction. But would rather just find a used one that wants a new home. Again thanks for responding.

My recommendation would be to look on facebook marketplace or craigslist near you.? Search for ford garden tractor (and jacobsen garden tractor).? You can find a whole tractor, with the PTO for between $100 and $1000 based on condition, accessories, time of year...

There are a few lawn and garden tractor scrap yards, suddenly all the names are escaping me, but a little digging, maybe even in this groups archives should turn them up.

The PTO was for quite some time one of the harder parts to get, but surprisingly I am seeing more of them the past 2 years than the 10 years prior.

Good luck.

OK, here is one of the places to reach out to:??

Still have the 2 speed hydrostatic rear end I wouldn't mind selling (funny that this one DOES NOT have a oil filter on it).? Also, I recently saw a youtube video about this style Jacobsen tractor stating the rear end has a limited slip differential - not sure if I believe that cuz I am pretty sure if I throw a tire chain when I'm snowblowing that I stop like RIGHT NOW and spin a tire. Anybody know for sure?? I guess I could try not being lazy about it and dig out my owners manual and see if it says anything about it.

?Well everyone, got it home today and upon closer inspection it doesn't appear to be a good candidate for restoration.? First off, although the engine turns freely the owner who operated this (not the guy I got it from - he got it from a neighbor) appears to have ran the engine without an air cleaner for a period of time.? Engine turns freely, maybe a bit too freely - with no compression at all.? I realize the Kohler engine has a centrifugal decompression cam but I'll have to check it against mine to compare.

I think it's a parts machine, so hit me up if anyone thinks they may be interested in anything. I won't want much for anything if you want to come get it yourselves. Say $50 for the snowblower assembly or the same for the rear end. Sheet metal is more or less straight but hood has rusted off it's hinge bracket and one lower peg in front of one of the side panels has rusted off as well. The rear edge of the fender pan is a bit tweaked but not bad. There's also a roughly home made weight box on the rear that holds a 5 gallon bucket of what looks to be iron shot (because it looks rusty). If it turns out to be lead (haven't checked yet) I'll keep the lead. But anyone can have the frame.? There is no lift cradle underneath, the previous owner made a bracket (first glance it appears to be bolted on) mounted to the snowblowers lift arm that attaches directly to the tractors hydraulic lift.

Right now I am planning to keep the engine, rear wheel weights (still not sure if they are Jacobsen or some no-name brand) and the tire chains. Maybe the gas tank too unless someone needs one. It does not have a matching set of FRONT wheel hubs, looks like the the right side was recently replaced with a new off brand wheel and tire.

If someone wants an item like the snowblower (worn and a bit bent on the top lip but not rusted out, appears to be saveable) or hydrostatic rear end shipped I'd want at least about another $100 for packaging up the snowblower onto a pallet and delivering it to the shipper. And probably another $150 for removing and palletizing the rear end. I also would probably only want to deal with shipping thru Fastenal because they are close to me and I've dealt with them before. You would have to be the originator and payor of the shipment at your Fastenal location.

I can post pictures or make quick youtube videos if anyone is interested.

Once I do I'm going to give it a good look over before I make any final decision on what I'm going to do with it. There may other things I would want as well. If what I see on the back wheels are cast steel jacobsen wheel weights those are staying with me as well if I do decide to either part it out or pass it on

I am scheduled to pick it up Mid-Day Friday from him but I'll let him know I'm fine to let him pass it on to you if he wants to deal with that. He did say to me he just wanted it gone and I think he's doing me a favor holding it rather than dealing with a multi-visit disassembly, not sure how he'll respond and might make me look bad too. If you REALLY want it you may have to bite the bullet, bring your truck and trailer and just get it the h*!! out of there.

I would love to have that but I would have to have it shipped as I am in Buffalo, NY. ?I’ve been looking for that exact snowblower for my 165.?
