1964 JD 110 Round Fender. I blame Nick!

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:

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.

Thanks Roger for explaining the bracket.

Does anyone have a picture showing how this bracket is hooked up to the spring?
 
#8 ·
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?

Here is another view of that lever installed on my 67 112. The later models had a hole already in the front axle.

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?

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.

Hope this helps.

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?
 
#17 ·
Yes, it covers the element entirely. There is about a 1/2 gap all the way around though so air comes in through the bottom.

That's how Deere designed it. My '65 110 is the same configuration.

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!
Its okay, I will go ahead and take the blame. It wouldnt be the first time, and at least it keeps you out of the dog house a little.

Well like I said Nick, if you bought every tractor that you came across the rest of us would be left out.

So does anyone know how good the quality of reproduction parts from HAPCO is? I need a new steering wheel.

I bought the seat cover/cushion for my SF 110 and I must say it is well built & 2 years I've had it and is still in good shape.
