The Ford YT12.5, YT14, YT16, and YT16H Lawn Tractors are part of Ford’s late 1980s and early 1990s yard tractor lineup, built for reliable residential mowing and light-duty hauling tasks. Powered by durable Briggs & Stratton gasoline engines ranging from 12.5 hp up to 16 hp, these models combine compact size with rugged construction for dependable lawn care. With both gear-drive and hydrostatic drive options, the YT series provides flexibility for different operator preferences, while a 49-inch wheelbase ensures stability and maneuverability in tight yard spaces.
The YT12.5 is equipped with a 12.5 hp Briggs & Stratton 2-cylinder gasoline engine and a 5-speed gear transmission, paired with a 4-gallon fuel tank and an operating weight of about 688 lbs. The YT14 and YT16 step up with higher horsepower ratings for improved mowing performance, with the YT16H offering a hydrostatic transmission for infinitely variable speed control. All models are designed with turf-friendly tires, manual steering, 2WD, and a 12-volt electrical system for reliable starting and operation. Standard rear turf tires (22×8.00-12) and compact frames make them effective for both flat and moderately uneven terrain.
The repair manual provides full service coverage for all models in the YT series. Sections include introduction and safety, lubrication and maintenance, adjustments and servicing, troubleshooting, and bolt torque specifications. For hydrostatic-equipped models such as the YT16H, the manual includes Eaton hydraulics repair information and specific service coverage for the 751 & 851 hydrostatic transaxles. Exploded diagrams, lubrication charts, wiring details, and step-by-step servicing instructions ensure accurate maintenance and reliable performance over the long term.
