I see you let the 140 do some easy work on your place. That's nice of you. The Vanguard sounds pretty good. Can't wait to get my 314 finished and hear that sound.
thats a nice tractor, but i just would have rebuilt the kohler. it was probably tired, being 40 years old. i have a 112 and i replaced the engine with a low time shortblock. made a huge difference.
nice tractor, i have a 112 gear drive. i usually mow in 3rd gear which is medium ground speed. it doesnt make sense to mow in the highest speed, you will get a better cut at lower speeds.
It will mow as fast as the tractor will go - but what's the point? The ground is a bit rough and grandpa is trying to teach him to be careful and to respect the machinery so it will last another 40 years.
