Jacobsen Chief 1000
 

Hey guys my neighbor just gave me this Jacobsen Chief 1000.

I dont know anything about it other than it was made from 64-71.

It has a 10 or 12hp Kohler on it.

It came with a blade and a mower deck. It has a hydraulic lift, appears to be the same on on the NF cubs

Jake also built for Minneapolis moline and ford, prolly others
good little mower in their day.:beerchug:

Nice find, I have owned 3 of those, all the same with hydraulic lift and the blade, down to 1, also have a 1450 super chief, great tractors.

Nice, I am going to try getting it running tomorrow. The pump's pulley seems to turn really hard so I will have to look into that.... but other than that it seems good. I dont know anything about them, know where to get op and service manuals?

No I don't, sorry.

Mine was a Minneapolis-Moline town & country 108 but built by Jacobson
with a kohler 8 hp.
It had a timed 36" deck with a sliding arrangement to engage the deck belt. Also came with a Tecumseh engine that nobody liked.
They were a tough little mower that my twin boys could not destroy, and that was saying something, Ha,LOL.
I used it prolly 10 years cutting about 3 acres.
I did have a problem with deck spindle shafts having to make a few, as the timing pulleys would wallow them out in the keyways.
The transaxle takes 90W.
If yours is a 1000 series, thinking they were a 10 Hp.
I never has a hydraulic lift on mine.
Brakes were just a band, around a flat pulley on the side of transaxle, and a notched lever for parking.
check the oil seal there, and the one on the drive pulley shaft.
That has the origional tires on it.

Don't know much about it, but it sure is cool!

Nice find Cory,are the hydro pumps similar to the cub cadet ones?
