Second 110 has just been added to the family. This resto job from about 6 years ago fell back in the hands of guy who who did all the work first time around. Still in very nice shape over all.
K181 in it, and complete 2nd engine.
New ag tires with original hub caps. Ag look new
4 turf tires all on deere wheels, 2 are new other 2 like new.
2 front tires and axle, spindles, etc from different tractor
3 grills and 2 hoods and not cracked!!

300 miles and $380. I think not too bad a deal. Will set up both 110's nicely the way I want them, will have some extra parts to post up soon.

Nice score! Not a fan of the diamond plate or light though. Wats up with the shroud for the engine?

Have some carb rebuilding to do on both engines. Found safety's had been removed or disabled. Hood bolted back to frame. May have trans leak at rear wheel. Last key switch may be wonky.
Starts with carb that is on it, but after shutting off key that had to be turned passed normal "off" position gas still ran out carb right away without air cleaner being on engine. Sticky float? Am just going to order rebuild kits either way.

This find will complete my want and need list ( except deck issue posted Saturday). Wanted ag tires for other unit with tiller. Able to load a set of turf tires to use on this one for plowing only, may load ag tires as well? Wheel weights cost $200 around here so not on my list right now.

May need some help with wheel identification due to set I bought a few weeks ago and the ones that came with this one. Will post pics later because I am only awake at this hour when hunting.

Shroud is in box with other engine and extra misc parts. Plow is a,well, I can call it a *******, but then I would just be insult in' myself?? I like the the way it works and it looks alright. May have to add my redneckness to that design. Lights, well I may remove, and it came with a whole front end that was cut and mounted on someone's garage ( hood, axle with tires and frame cut off part of perfect hood.... Please see above note about *******) that can give me replacement hood supports.

No insults were intended by above comments. I am by city folks around here called ******* and am proud of it. To look and see a way to use or reuse something don't that make me extra "green"?
Good night, god bless. Phil

Yes, I will post pic later of what was mounted on garage.

Nice find. Hubcaps in good shape are hard to find and darn expensive to buy. I would definitely get the engine shroud and associated parts reinstalled. Very important part in keeping the engine running cool.

I found this on CL. PO stated he restored this tractor around 6 years not me. He was at the bar with a friend from out of state. Friend said he was bring tractor home with him he bought while visiting. PO wanted to see it and told his friend that was his build (custom scroll paint on hood). Was made as parade tractor. PO said you can't take away from here (beer talking).

PO is now into jeep builds that are works of art. V8, Detroit locker, Dana, makes complete roll bar set ups hand made, etc. had a very well stocked workshop.
Was building his seat pans when I showed up. Other rock crawler in driveway is done, hand fab dashboard with many nice other touches, 35's roll bar again and will be for sale in near future...??? Kept his number for this and tractors he finds.
I did some of this kind of stuff in my younger days, but would send out a lot of the work he kept in house. I was impressed.

He sold me tractor after a week due to storage and funds for jeep. Extras I got were just what was still in shop from what was his past hobby and is my new hobby.
