Horsepower Range:
Likely ranges from approximately 10 HP (LGT 100) to 19.5 HP (LGT 195), based on model numbering convention.
Carburetion:
Typically employs a carburetor for fuel delivery. Manual would cover adjustment, cleaning, and rebuild.
Oil Type General:
SAE 30 or 10W-30 API SG or higher (specific recommendations in manual).
Ignition System:
Flywheel magneto ignition system, common for this class of tractor.
Transmission Type:
Likely a hydrostatic transmission (HST) or manual geared transmission, depending on the specific model. The manual would cover both possibilities if applicable across the range.
Drive Type:
2WD (rear-wheel drive) is standard for this type of tractor.
Maintenance:
Procedures for fluid checks, changes, and filter replacement if applicable to the transmission type.
Safety Features General:
Includes operator presence control (OPC) systems, PTO safety interlocks, and brake interlocks as standard safety mechanisms.
Operator Presence:
Seat switch that stops the engine and PTO when the operator leaves the seat.
Guards And Shields:
Protective covers for moving parts like belts, PTO, and engine fan.
Infotainment Features:
N/A - These are utility tractors focused on function, not equipped with infotainment systems.
Driver Assistance Features:
N/A - Basic operator controls, no electronic driver assistance systems.
Connectivity Options:
N/A - No electronic connectivity features.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 25-50 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first (specific interval depends on engine and operating conditions, detailed in manual).
Air Filter Inspection:
Inspect every 25 hours, replace as needed. Clean pre-filter more frequently.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Replace annually or every 100 operating hours.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
SAE 30 or 10W-30, API SG or higher (consult manual for exact specifications based on temperature).
Gear Oil Type:
Hypoid gear oil (e.g., SAE 80W-90) for transaxle and front axle, if applicable.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Ford compatible hydraulic fluid or universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) if specified.
Common Wear Items:
Belts (drive, PTO), blades, mower deck bearings, steering components, and hydrostatic transmission wear over time.
Carburetor Problems:
Vapor lock, clogged jets due to old fuel, and vacuum leaks are common, especially after storage.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corroded connections, faulty switches (seat, PTO, safety interlocks), and aging wiring harnesses can cause intermittent issues.
Ford Tractor Legacy:
Ford has a long-standing reputation in agricultural and groundskeeping equipment, extending into the consumer lawn and garden sector.
Series Designation:
The LGT series represented Ford's entry into the robust homeowner and small property maintenance tractor market, evolving from earlier models.
Approximate Production Era:
These models were primarily produced in the 1980s and early 1990s, before Ford exited the consumer lawn and garden tractor market and sold the division.
