Introduction

Jacobsen GT-10 Garden Tractor

The Jacobsen GT-10 is a garden tractor produced between 1972 and 1976 in Racine, Wisconsin, USA. Designed for lawn maintenance and light utility tasks, this two-wheel-drive machine is part of the Jacobsen series established during the mid-1970s.

Engine and Power

The tractor is powered by a single-cylinder, air-cooled Kohler K241AS gasoline engine with a horizontal shaft. It features a displacement of 391 cc (23.9 ci) and delivers a gross power output of 10 hp (7.5 kW) at a rated speed of 3600 RPM. The engine cooling system relies on forced air, suitable for standard garden operations.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The GT-10 utilizes a belt-driven gear transmission system, providing four forward gears and one reverse gear. Power is transferred via an idler pulley clutch mechanism. The tractor is configured as a two-wheel-drive unit, supported by manual steering and mechanical band brakes for operator control.

Hydraulics and PTO

Equipped for versatility, the machine features an independent front power take-off (PTO). This system uses a pulley-type drive and is engaged through an electric clutch, allowing for the attachment of powered implements such as the 42-inch mower deck.

Dimensions and Electrical

The tractor has a wheelbase of 116 cm (46 inches) and an overall length of 182 cm (71.7 inches). It sits on lawn/turf tires, with 16x6.50-8 front tires and 23x8.50-12 rear tires. The electrical system operates on 12 volts, utilizing a starter-generator with a 15-amp charging capacity to maintain the 24 AH battery.
