Need a 1966 Ford LGT 120 Steering shaft/gear

jwnoord · Feb 22, 2013

Hi,

I just acquired a 1966 Ford LGT 120 with aluminum deck and blade.

I need the steering gear (on the main shaft from steering wheel down, the "driven gear" is there. The whole shaft would be nice, but the gear itself would be cool as well as I could fabricate something.

Would like to get OEM as the rest of is stock, and I could fabricate something, but would like to keep original.

also, not sure what ignition keys they use on these. Again, want to keep stock.

jw,
If it is a 1966 and has an angle iron frame, it is
a Ford 120. They came with nice 42" aluminum
decks.
The LGT series did not come out 'til '72 and they
were constructed with a tube frame and had steel
decks. Both series were made by Jacobsen and are very fine tractors; extremely durable.
In any event, I assume yours is a Ford 120 as the
LGT-120 would have a regular enclosed steering
gearbox rather than open gears.
I know I have one of those shafts with the gear
but it may take me awhile to find it as it is in
the "lower forty" and covered with snow.
I cannot recall whether or not I have an original
ignition switch but they were nothing special and
many aftermarket switches will fit.
Is yours a Hydro?
Are you anywhere near New York State? I am getting
up there in age and I am finally beginning to
realize that I have many more projects than years
left to live. LOL
I could make you a good deal on a few Ford tractors and
parts from that era if you think you might be
interested.
