The Ford LGT-14D is a garden tractor produced between 1987 and 1991. Designed for residential property maintenance and landscaping, this model features a compact chassis and a liquid-cooled diesel powertrain.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 3-cylinder Shibaura diesel engine with a displacement of 617 cc (37.7 ci). It produces 14 horsepower (10.4 kW).

With a total length of 71 inches (180 cm) and a width of 39 inches (99 cm), the LGT-14D is suited for confined work areas. It has a ground clearance of 6.2 inches (15 cm).
