1963 John Deere 110

Hello Everyone,
This is Ted from Edmonton, Alberta.
I have a chance to buy 1963 JD 110 with a mover deck and snow blower for $850CAD (is it priced right?). I wonder if someone could tell me about the value of this little tractor. How does it compare with other tractors in the small tractors class (7, 8 HP). Is there anything special technically about it, that makes it worthy buying. Maybe how does it compare with bolens, simplicity, cub cadet or other ones that accept snow blower?

I would use it for small snow moving jobs on my small city lot and maybe some of my neighbours.
I know there were few produced so I do not want to pass an opportunity if this was really good catch.
I have a photo but I do not know how to post it.

Thanx.

Ted

I looked at that thread - it's awesome! Thanks for the link. But...you can't use the front axle alone. I have an early '64 (SN 4,600) that has the fabricated steel front axle like the '63's have.

If you want to see changes...you'd be amazed at how much heavier duty my '65 is than my '64. There are changes on dang near every major component.
ET, You are welcome. And I should have known better, not to post that the tube axles were only used in 63. Deere has always used up left over stock from one model year to the next and many early year models had some of last years parts............ Sorry for that !!! You are correct !!!

I was about two hours late for a 1965 110 with a blower, blade, deck, and cab for $750...it ran well and needed a battery and tire. Here is what I missed out on and if it helps to price the 1964...

:sorry1: to hear that you missed out on that as it's a good deal. slkpk
You guys cant compare a 1963 110 to any other year 110. You are not comparing apples to apples. They are in totally different leagues when it comes to price and desirability.

Only collectors wouldn't compare them! Not saying you're wrong but there are people out there who don't understand how rare a 1963 is and their only basis for comparison is the model number. Until recently I didn't either and then got a lesson from the guy on eBay trying to sell one for $6000.00 with an 80 trailer. I don't agree with the value he placed on them, but I couldn't fault him for his knowledge of their rarity! By the way his price has dropped at least $1000 the last time I looked.
FWIW, the one in the linked photo that you are looking at does have a Kohler motor too... It could use fresh paint, but it looks like a good deal for that price and should make you a nice tractor.

I think they are like everything else and have come down in value. I saw one sell for $10,000 13 years ago. But that was then. I know a gentleman in Wisconsin that owns 21 of the 1963 110's. All of them are restored and have their own custom covers. The last one he bought to restore cost him 3 grand...... I am glad I don't want one.....
18250 is a mid year 1965 according to WFM site.
Heck, that would have the fat front tires. I mean its ok and all, but this deal gets worse all the time.
I just looked at the picture and saw the cushioned seat, and new that it wasn't a 63. In fact it is the same year that mine was! Better shape than mine but that was due to the PO! I sold the tractor, original brinly sleave hitch, snowblower, and tiller for $500 in 2007.
none of those are 63's though. I think that is the point, the first year is key!

63 was a good year for corvettes and tractors it seems... I can't remember that far back though :)

Where are these twenty one 110's at if I may ask, or at least what part of Wi.

Thanks

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

Fabulous looking 63, Herd. Thank you for the pics.
I have difficulty finding the point on the tractor where I need to hook up the blower on. Could you please post some pics showing this kind of details?
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.

Ha, ha. I think there is plenty of guys in here who would wish to own that jewell (me including).

Sure. If you could send me some more pics I would appreciate it a lot.
Whenever convenient for you. No rush at all.
Thanx again.
Ted
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.

The tractor came with the mowing deck attached and the blower separate.
I took the deck off. I did not know what else needed to be removed.
When I tried to mount the blower it seemed the points where it could be hooked up on the tractor are not aligned. This is my very first contact with a JD tractor and I am totally lost.
