Jim Dandy Tractor

[Victor Bolsa]

Can someone help me identify what I have in my garage... is it worth anything?

I moved into a new property and there is a Jim Dandy, Power King tractor Model # 1614 with a lawn mower attachment, Kohler engine. It hasn't run in 4 years but neighbors say it was running. I also found the Ouners Manual a some parts.

Is this a collectors Item? How can I get it appraised?

Please help.

Check the Garden Tractor board for info. Tractor has a following like Cub Cadets, supposed to have strong drive train and frame- not a cheap throwaway when something breaks brand. Kohler engines usually considered the best of Briggs/Tecumseh/Kohler makes. Check for sticking valves, clean carburator, check ignition-plugs, points, whatever- couple different types of ignition and electrical patterns- chanage oil and fresh gas in tanks, may suprise you and fire right up.
