Introduction
Minneapolis-Moline 114 Garden Tractor
The Minneapolis-Moline 114 is a garden tractor produced between 1969 and 1971. Manufactured by Jacobsen in Racine, Wisconsin, this model was designed for residential lawn care and light landscape maintenance tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Kohler K321 gasoline engine, a single-cylinder, air-cooled unit with a displacement of 512 cc (31.27 ci). It produces a gross power output of 14 hp (10.4 kW) at a rated engine speed of 3200 RPM. The engine utilizes an electric starter system operating on 12 volts.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 114 model is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission, allowing for infinite gear ratios in both forward and reverse directions. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a two-wheel drive system, which features a limited-slip rear differential to improve traction on uneven surfaces. Braking is managed through mechanical band brakes.
Operational Features and Attachments
The tractor includes an independent front power take-off (PTO) engaged via an electric clutch, enabling the use of various powered implements. It supports a 36 or 42-inch mower deck and offers an optional sleeve hitch for towing or mounting additional ground-engaging equipment. The operator station is of an open design, utilizing manual steering for machine control.
Dimensions and Tires
The unit features a wheelbase of 109 cm (43 inches) and an overall length of 154 cm (61 inches). The chassis provides a front axle clearance of 22 cm (8.75 inches) and a rear axle clearance of 15 cm (6.25 inches). It is fitted with 5.50x8 lawn/turf tires at the front and 23x8.50x12 lawn/turf tires at the rear.
Conclusion
The Minneapolis-Moline 114 is a compact, hydrostatic-drive tractor tailored for property owners requiring a versatile machine for mowing and light utility work. Its combination of a reliable Kohler power plant and durable Jacobsen-built chassis makes it a representative example of American garden tractor engineering from the late 1960s.
