Well I took Kyle 1s advice and expanded the herd with a JD 70. It Takes me back to my childhood going over to Kyle 2s and riding his JD 60 around.

Nice! It's a 1972 year model. How's the motor run? Any attachments with it?

I found it in Allentown. The guy has a bunch of other stuff I said I would pass the word on to all you guys. He gave me his number and said give it out. I have pics of a 140 with a plow I'll post he said he thinks he wants to get rid of it

Thanks for the model year I was wondering about that. In not sure how the motor runs the guy said it was running last fall. However I stuck a battery in it quick when I got home and hit the key and nothing happens. And unfortunately no attachments

O yea I forgot he mentioned that

 

[Kster526]

What's he asking for it?

 

[JDbeginner87]

What's he asking for

He didn't really say. I'll ask him

 

[Kster526]

Yes please not that I can afford it but....

I just texted him he said he would get back to me on the price. He did say when I was there it wasn't running and thought it needed new points

 

[johndeereelfman]

If I were to make a guess on the model year, I'd say it's a 1970. Looks like the double pullies are missing on the PTO and not sure how easily available they will be in finding.

On another note, if you are interested in a mower deck for your little 70, let me know as I may be able to help you out.

I would be interested at some point probably sooner then later. What would you be looking for price wise

 

[Kster526]

Running is not an issue unless it's a broken crank or such. Does he know if it's the original hood or not Brett?
Troy the patios were in 1969 correct? Wish I had the ability to tell years buy looking at them. Old cars is easy compared to tractors

 

[backwoods]

I like the 140 not that the funds will allow me to buy one but it's a factory patio possible factory repaint it would be a nice addition

 

[JDbeginner87]

I'll let you guys know the price as soon as he gets back to me

The patio's started in 1969 and ran through to mid year of 1971. As to how I'm determining this tractor to be a 1970, is due to the notch out on the frame for the points cover removal. 1969's didn't have this notch. I can't zoom the pictures in close enough to tell what type rear is in the tractor, but the early rears with disc brakes were run to about mid year of '70, then the newer rears with drum brakes were started. I don't think the front headlight bezel is original, nor is the steering wheel. Is the serial number for the tractor obtainable?

Thank you Brett.
You need to find the Tractor Data.com website so you can find the info on years of your tractors. It's been a big help to me.
