Another project addition

Well , seem to be on a roll . Was down the road from my house and saw an old tractor and asked about it . Didn't think much of it at the time . Went back and asked how much . The gentleman said $200 .

I know nothing about these or this brand (Simplicity/AC guy here) but people have said it's a steal . Thinking of cleaning it up and maybe adding a loader / backhoe to it . From what I've been told , it's a good solid tractor and is one that people look for because of the triple hydraulics .


John Deere 140 H3 , K231 engine





Btw , trying to figure out what the tractor is in the background . He doesn't know , but uses it for pulling events (hence the little trophy as hood ornament) .

It looks like a beast. I think you stole it.

Not a bad looking Deere you stole there.

Nah you don't want that tractor don't you live close to me I will come by and get it no problem The john deere 140 H3 is probably one of if not the most desirable john deere garden tractors there is. I had one years ago and didn't realize what I had till I sold it. Mine was completely siezed evrything on the tractor was stuck and I thought it was junk put it on craigslist as parts best offer in about 2 minutes I had a 300. dollar offer Of course I said come get it and he did I got about 20 email offers from 50. to 450. for it as is in a matter of about an hour it took for him to come pick it up. So yes you did steal it good for you....

Didn't you notice the dirt on the running board and in the tire tread ?

If you ever decide you want to trade it for some simplicitys let me know..

Like I said , I know nothing about these . But I've been told it has the "heavy duty" rims . Also to inspect it to see if it has white paint anywhere hidden on the frame . Apparently they made a "Patio" tractor that is rare and collectable .

Either way , she is gonna be working alongside the 3210V . Figure I can split the work between the two .


Lol , I guess I finally have something to mount this free item I picked up .





Yup , got that one free . Was stored in a garage for the last few years after the guys wife gave his tractor away .
