Very helpful video, just found a 110 super complete and rebuildable, into the motor now, I don’t think it has been abused or used much, impressive how overbuilt everything is compared to what we have now, don’t know anyone into these cool old machines, so my path is new learning about this world, looking forward to mowing with this sweet little overbuilt unit
My late dad owned my 110 from 77 to 2019.. been working it like a dog the last 3 years since his passing. Old reliable. Edit. 1969 4 speed variable speed. Deck only as of now
Back when they made these things, they should’ve made it with a steel spline insert on the hub. So it literally won’t wear out, or just put some grease on the spline.
The tecumsehs are good, but the ignition on it is a pain in the ass when it breaks, you can make your own with car parts tho. You can’t buy the carb for the old tecumsehs any more, just buy a Kohler carb that matches the HP. I’ve seen people do it, I gotta say those old Tecumsehs are pretty beastly when I fired my 16hp on starting fluid.
Friend of mine has a 112L hydrostatic. Mower deck switch has been finicky. He recently jump started it. Subsequently, mower switch won’t engage mower deck at all now. Coincidence? Or might there be a fuse or relay I need to check that could have been knocked out with the boost? Thanks
I have an older 212 and I changed both the drive belts about a year half /two years ago and last winter I went to plow snow and The back wheels just spin more than they ever have,,,I’m wondering would my splines in my spindles/hubs be bad or do I need to readjust my variator again???
@@hamiltonshomelites4489 , true it might have been an option until then. I didnt say you couldn't get a 110 with a 8hp though. quite frainkly the 10 & 12 hp are pretty much the same motor, the only diference is the flywheel. so you could convert a 10hp to a 12.
If the condition is good and that then yeah I would and how’s it run and that too is it gunna need rebuilt is the trans leaking just things to take into consideration

Watched this after picking up my 68 112 (I believe it’s 68). Guess it’s a good thing I bought her as a project.
I remember the black flies & deer flies, back in Michigan when I was growing up.
-they were vicious!

They are great machines just keep the motor services and clean and it will last forever
Thanks for the info!

But if they did that then you wouldn’t come back to the dealership and have to spend money and order new replacement parts
Do you have a video of rebuilding the rear end? I would love some literature on that. I hope to referbish a 120 in a month or so.
No I don’t but the 120 has a different trans then the 112 and 110s

But its being given to me I wasn't buying the old thing so I'm getting however it is broken or not broke

Could be anything check if there’s any fuses then I’d look at the switch itself
should i buy a 112 with a front blade and mower deck that doesn't run for 200
steiger farmer280 if it’s in good shape and it turns over then I would you can always part it out for that if worst comes to worst

Jack it up and wiggle wheel and see how much play you have but also too use the variator to help slow down wheel speed in that gear
@@hamiltonshomelites4489 thanks
Is the hub braking a common thing? I really want to but a 110 but i dont have the money and skills to take apart and replace the rear axle.
I never had one break they just get sloppy
@@hamiltonshomelites4489 does the john deere 60 have the same problem?
Never had one long enough to really know I had a 60 and 70 they both seemed tight
The 110 got the 10hp in 1972 till 1974/end of 110/112 era. so the original 110 RF had a 7 or 8 hp.
Michael Benoit You could still get a 8hp till 1973

Michael Benoit oh yeah
What size mower deck belt does the 110 use ?
They use a 39” and 46”
You can get the belts @ the JD Dealer.
I'm pretty sure this guy walks around and smokes a lot of cigarettes. Lmao
Should I buy one that runs but just needs a pto belt for 375?
It’s a 214
If the condition is good and that then yeah I would and how’s it run and that too is it gunna need rebuilt is the trans leaking just things to take into consideration
Why would you not buy it, over a PTO belt?
Just buy John Deere belts.
Is hood plastic or metal ? Thanks
There fibreglass
10hp first became available in 72. You could get 8 or 10 after that.
I have a 69 112 10hp Kohler with Hydraulic lift in Yellow Patio Series. I bought it new still running strong.
What tires on the 112
23x10.50-12
Only lasted 50 years, that’s sad
No twed lmao
