Hello all, just acquired a cute tractor and would like to know if anyone knows where to get any parts online for this unit. Its a hesston 140 front runner, with all the attachments, plow, blower, mower, and its got a neat cab too I will upload a photo if I can, anyway weather in alaska is gonna get cold and would like to get it all back lookin new and usable before then, I just need a fan cause 2 propellers are broke, and a voltage regulator, any places online that sell parts for this model, any knowledge would be appreciated, thanks a bunch.

I did a little research, and from info I found and pictures, I think they were bought out by Toro. If you have a Toro dealer in your area you might check with them.

can't help you but i spent 2 week in alaska 8 years ago and loved it. going back one of these days. tom

I cannot help you either, but welcome to the forum. Someone with some knowledge about your tractor will be along shortly.

Well thanks all, I got the original books on this tractor, they were given to me yesterday, I didnt know who bought the company hesston out if any, so you all think it may have been bought out by toro< i thought it was fiat, anyhoo appreciate it everyone, I wanted to show it off, but the pic is too big, so I will take another picture, yes I will say alaska is a great place I have lived here since 1989, I appreciate the nice replys from my new tractor family, hahaha, thanks yall and have a wonderful day, lately the rain is so bad here, cant seem to get any work done on it, I wanted to sand it down and repaint, just for something to do, I like projects like that, this used to be a state of alaska peice of equiptment, so I will see what it can do for me, talk to ya later.

Hello thanks for your post, appreciate it , take care till next time.

to reduce the picture you have download Irfanview. it is a free program you can get at irfanview.com. Very easy to use. It has to be for me to use it.

well thank you so much for some reason i cant upload any of my photos that is crazy, i'll try your idea thank you very much, atleast an avatar of me, bye for know I'm gonna try this its always nice to see who your talkin to,

I think Paul Bell (Paul B) may have either a Hesston Front Runner or some information on them. You might send him a P.M.

HEY THATS HOW I DO THINGS TOO, THATS FUNNY, OR IF ITS A DRIVEABILITY PROBLEM AND YOU NEED SOME ELBOW GREASE ND A HALF A DOOFINATIN VALVE.

Short search of the internet said the engine was a 20 hp Kohler. Voltage regulators for Kohler engines are available at most auto parts stores or small engine shops. Identify the exact engine and then take in the old regulator. Auto parts stores can obtain small engine parts for popular makes.

The fans. Take the fan(s) to your local small engine shop or industrial supply store. Knowledgable counter person will just look at it and tell you what you can use to replace it.

Identify each major component of the machine. Engine, transmission, etc.. Parts and major components are/were usually made to industrial standards. Basically I suggesting that most parts can be obtained locally.

From your Zip Code you are in North Pole Alaska. If I remember right that is not far from Fairbanks. They should have some good parts people there.
In the early 60's I worked in Fairbanks, Pedro Dome, Murphy Dome, Paxton and about 6 months in Tok. One time we borrowed a company car and visited North Pole. Had a Great time while there. Another time we went from Tok to Valdez. The snow in the mountain Pass was spectacular. Then we went through the tunnel and it was raining on the Valdez side and no snow at all. Quite a surprise.
I did a google on Hesston 140 parts and got a number of hits, including this thread. Yesterdays tractors seems to have stuff you will find interesting. Plug,s points, belts, condensers,coils and lub products are generally available generic. Bearings, rings, valves and such are pretty generic if you are handy with a Micrometer.
