140

Overview
Introduced later than the other models in its lineup in 1969, the 140 was Ford's answer to the need for higher horsepower garden tractors. While adding the 14 HP motor, the tractor was also given a hydrostatic transmission and electric implement lift as standard equipment. The 140 was replaced by the LGT 145 (Open Side) starting in 1972.
