Looks like it's a model G5. It won't start after sitting for 15 years. I think it's just sticky valves. [Reply]   [No Email]

I found it sitting in a shed for many years . It says Dodge on the grill and has a chev 250 6 cylinder. So I ordered that tune up kit and the engine started . That was in 1994 and we still use it today. [Reply]  [No Email]

If a Ford I would think it was the 134, same as 600 Ford, see Worthington Chief, on the Worthington Golf Course tractor web site. [Reply]  [No Email]

Worthington sold out to the Jacobsen mower (Racine Wisconsin) company about 1953. (I remember talking to a fellow who went to work for them right after his time in Korea.) Jake carried the line for many, many years under their name. They were primarily built to tow the ground driven reel mowers used on golf courses and other large tracts. C.C. Worthington is also the same Worthington that had the Worthington Pump and Compressor Co. He also built the Shawnee Inn and Country Club (1907) in eastern PA. I knew two of his grandchildren, two other brothers owned a Jake franchise in Mass (Sawtelle Brothers) Check out Shawnee.com [Reply]  [No Email]
