Jacobsen LT860: The 8 HP Workhorse That Defined Lawn Care!

Step back in time to the golden age of lawn tractors with the Jacobsen LT860! Built with legendary American craftsmanship in Racine, Wisconsin, this machine isn't just a tractor; it's a testament to durability and efficient lawn maintenance. Whether you're a collector or a homeowner seeking a reliable classic, the LT860, produced between 1970 and 1976, offers a compelling blend of power and practicality.

Heart of a Champion: The Briggs & Stratton Engine

Under the hood of the LT860 beats the reliable heart of a Briggs & Stratton engine. This 1-cylinder, air-cooled, vertical-shaft gasoline powerhouse delivers a robust 8 hp (6.0 kW) from its 318 cc [19.44 ci] displacement. With a bore/stroke of 3.00x2.75 inches [76 x 70 mm] and operating at a steady 3600 RPM, this engine is built for sustained performance, ensuring your lawn gets the attention it deserves. The electric starter and 12-volt system make firing it up a breeze, and the 1.125 qts [1.1 L] oil capacity keeps it running smoothly.

Smooth Operator: Peerless Transmission and Drivetrain

Experience seamless control with the Peerless belt-driven gear transmission. Featuring 3 forward gears and 1 reverse, this setup provides the versatility needed to tackle various mowing conditions and maneuver with ease. The two-wheel drive system, combined with manual steering and dependable disc brakes, ensures you remain in command, making light work of even intricate lawn layouts.

Designed for the Task: Mower Deck and Dimensions

The LT860 comes equipped with a practical 34" mower deck, ready to deliver a clean cut and a beautifully manicured lawn. Its thoughtful dimensions, including a 42.5-inch [107 cm] wheelbase and a width of 31.75 inches [80 cm], offer a stable yet agile platform. With a hood height of 31.25 inches [79 cm] and a steering wheel height of 37 inches [93 cm], the open operator station is designed for straightforward operation. The specific lawn/turf tires, 13x5.00-6 at the front and 18x8.50-8 at the rear, are chosen to protect your turf while providing excellent grip.
