The 140s are rare, and the people who have them, know it....virtually no old deals on these tractors any longer. I was able to pick up a really nice JD 214 from the original owner with the 47" mower deck, 48" snow blade, and a 39" rear rototiller and mule drive. The mower deck is shot, but the tractor, and rototiller look amazing.
I got this tractor at an auction, that had'nt been well advertised, so my bid of $400 won all of it. I picked up a 8 HP tecumseh DUERR combo wood chipper at the same auction for $20.
