Any Ford owners out there?

[theaton]

I recently got a Ford 125 from my father in law. The body and tins are in great shape. Does anyone have info on these tractors? All I have found is that the K-301ASQ was built in 1982 and that Ford never made there tractors. This model possibly made by Jacobson.

This Ford now sports a cub muffler after to much grass in the original muffler tins and one good backfire....

Thanks Jim, I am still searching for info on these Ford/Jacobson tractors. I pulled the 12 hp this evening for a winter rebuild project.

Todd:
I got my 129 in '85 from a guy I worked with - he was going to trade it in on a Ford, as the Cub deck was too heavy for him to put on and take off. Needless to say, the Ford is long gone........(last I knew he'd gone green, at least twice. Some people just don't learn..)

I am in no way comparing a Ford to a cub Kendall, but sometimes I can't resist....when its free.
