I don't know how he does it but Nick is to blame for a 1964 John Deere 110 round fender finding its way into my trailer and following me home. He must be a good friend to keep feeding my tractor obsession. Thanks Nick.
So this is a little late coming. Actually I picked up the new to me 64 a couple of months ago and I'm just now showing it some love. This little jewel has a lot going for it but is in need of some real help. If you are one of those individuals that can track an Owl from a mile away in the middle of the night I could use your help. Basically I'm looking for any info on the possible origins of this tractor. It is a fairly low production number #4252. If anyone has any production info on these early tractors I would love to hear about it. I'm not even sure how many 1964 110's were produced.
Any ways here are a few pictures and I'll have a video up later.
Don't be blaming Nick!. You joined MTF so you had the fever already.
Nice machine and not sure what that bracket is for. Maybe a mule drive bracket for tiller? Others can help you out there.
From WFM forum: Serial number breaks are as follows: YearSerial NumberEngine19632,550 - 3,550Kohler K161 (7hp)19643,551 - 15,000Kohler K181 (8hp)196515,001 - 40,000Kohler K181196640,001 - 65,000Kohler K181196765,001 - 100,000Kohler K1811968100,001 - 130,000Kohler K1811969130,001 - 160,000Kohler K1811970160,000 - 185,000Kohler K1811971185,001 - 250,000Kohler K1811972250,001 - 260,000Kohler K1811972260.001 - 272,000Kohler K241 (10hp)1973272,001 - 285,000Kohler K1811973285,001 - 310,000Kohler K241 1974310,001 - 320,000Kohler K1811974320,001 -Kohler K241
Thanks for the breakdown of the serial numbers. That would make mine number 701 off the assembly line.
Btw. I can totally blame Nick. He calls me anytime he doesn't have room or money to add another machine to his collection so he can buy it vicariously through me. Haha. As I said what are good friends for?
Seriously though I appreciate Nick looking out for me. A round fender was the only other tractor I wanted besides my X738 and Nick pointed me in the right direction. Everyone needs a Nick.
The bracket is from a 1966 or 1967 RF and is used to tighten the mule drive spring to tighten the mower deck primary belt. It is the first time I have seen one adapted to an early tractor. Roger
Thanks for the pic Ikillbugs. I'm still confused as I don't see how a spring can be attached to it but it still goes up if the frame was right side up. Or would it still hang down with the frame right side up? Any ways it looks like the spring doesn't control the lever. Is that right?
The lever controls the spring which is very hard to put on without the lever. THe lever is over centered moving it up and just stays the up unless you want to take the belt loose. Roger
Can anyone tell me if I have the correct air cleaner for this 110? The center post isn't tall enough to screw down the cover. It's actually about an inch and a half below the top of the air cleaner. Is there a piece missing?
You have the wrong air filter element. They make them different heights. Find one for a 1964 110. My guess is that one is for a 1967 112 which used a taller element. Roger
I watched your video and saw that you do in fact have the correct air filter, but your air cleaner stud for the lid looks as though it has been broken off about 3/4 of it's length.
In the pictures you will see the shorter air filter on my '64 110, and the taller filter on my '67 112.
Thanks Roger and Jared for posting your comments. I will have to measure the height on Monday and verify but I believe it is taller than the one you have on your 64 Jared.
I know I can order one from Hapco. I was shocked when My JD dealer brought out the one I have for it now. I'll probably take it back and see if they have a shorter on with the same diameter.
Jared looking at your picture of your 64 110, does the air filter housing cover the element completely? If so how does air get in?
I thought long and hard about that 110, but at the end of the day I decided to keep my collection going in the direction it currently is. The 140 and 332 are my short list of must have machines, and my ultimate goals are more of them and their respective attachments. The fact that this 110 is so early made it difficult to pass on, but it made the most sense for me right now. I already have a '73 110 that i own but dont even have in my possession anymore. Its at a friends doing his work. Hope you get this one back to tip top shape.
Nice post, Nick, but you are *still* to blame for the 110 winding up on JBible's trailer.:tango_face_grin:
JBible, that's a nice looking original. The rear wheel covers are a nice bonus too. Best of luck with it!
