Here is a link to the best documentation I have seen on a 1963 John Deere 110. This provides differences between the 63 & 64 models. I think that one of the easiest ways to tell a 63 is by the tube style front axle. 1964 on had cast axles.

So. I asked the seller for more info, including serial number.
He said that the emgine does not smoke. He uses the tractor regularly for snow moving every winter.

And that t is actually a 1964 model. He put 1963 by mistake.
The serial number is: A 18250.
The tractor was purchased in US and brought to Canada.

Is it still worth $850CAD?

Hello again.
So. I have the tractor and the blower home. Finally.

They came separate.
I am trying to get the blower mounted on the tractor but I have a tough time to figure out how to do it.
The fellow who sold me this set says no parts are missing and he used this blower on this tractor for moving snow.
Can someone tell me how should I go about it.
If more photos is needed I will post them.
Thanx.

Ted,
I wish that one was mine - but mine's a liitle rougher and I don't have a blower. The pix I posted are of the 63 at my local dealer and I don't have any better shots that show how the blower attaches. If I can get back there soon with my camera I'll try to get a few that will help you out.

Will do the best I can. Part of what confuses me is that your machine still has the mower deck belt guide pulleys installed which I think need to be removed to mount the blower. So I'm not sure if the PO gave you the straight scoop or a snow job - I just don't know enough about the early 110s yet. We'll learn together.

I hate to break the bad news, but you're missing the entire mounting bracket. Here's a shot of the back side of one:

You're missing everything that's painted green. It normally stays on the blower. You should check with the guy you got the blower from to see if he's still got it. The extra spring is the helper spring, it mounts underneath the tractor. It's only used for manual lift, H models don't need it.

FYI when you get the bracket, you'll need to remove the mower clutch from the tractor (the extra pulleys by the motor). It's held on by several clevis pins, pretty easy to remove. You'll also need to remove the draft plate from the front of the frame - it should stay attached to the mower deck.

Here's a link to a larger version of the photo, so you can see more detail:

Ted,

Glad the photo helped. If you're lucky, maybe the guy still has it and just forgot that he had detached it from the blower for whatever reason. I can't recall ever seeing the brackets for sale separately, but as PA318Guy mentioned you might be able to find a rusted-out blower that still has the brackets. Wouldn't hurt to post a WANTED item on Craigslist. Good luck finding your parts!

I asked him for the bracket and he said he gave me all he had. Darn...
Before he had my cash in his hands he also said he used this set for moving snow every winter... and still did not want to explain how he mounted the pieces together.
Well. I need to start lookin for the bracket.

Thank you everyone who responded. If anyone knows about someone willing to part with the bracket please let me know. I will post a note that I found one when I will get it. Otherwise I am still looking for one.

Glad you got it all put together! I used mine for years until I got a blower for my 200 series. It did the trick but be patient, and also learn how to adjust the chain on that snowblower you're going to be doing it occassionally while snowblowing so keep the wrenches handy for it.
