My '74 JD 112

[KennyP]

Found this sitting not far from the house this Spring. Been working on it off & on since. Got it looking decent now and running great. Best part is the electric lift works great and it has the JD Integral hitch on it. One of these days, I need to pull the rear end and put new axle seals in the 4-speed tranny. I painted the seat yesterday with Krylon Fusion paint to make it look better, I'll replace it sometime!

Boy Kenny, it really looks good now that you've got it all cleaned up.

Looks like a pretty useful machine. Are these the JD;s that use a variable speed pulley like the MF Vari-Speed? The belt and lever configuration looks like it may be. Do you have attachments?

I don't have a deck for it, but can use any sleeve hitch attachment that the electric lift will work with. Here's the hitch:


I think the manual PTO is all there, including the pulleys for a deck.

They do have the variable pulleys, the 110, 112 and all the early 200 series have the variator.

Paint it red and white or yellow and white to tick off the JD boys....

Thanks Jake! The variable speed setups seen to work real well. I've had one since 2011.

As long as they are adjusted right and the belts are in good shape.

John Deere did that themselves! haha

That’s one thing I dont have is a patio tractor in the fold. Not sure were I’d put it though.

Not all white with a colored hood, the whole tractor in yellow or red with white accents.... gotta make sure it has other brand decals on it too

And then watch the value of it drop by half.

Not much value on anything down here!

 

[KennyP]

Maybe I need to paint the hood White and go Yellow or Red with the rest!

Paint it in JD industrial yellow and black, make it stand out.

 

[KennyP]

That's a thought! I think member grnspot110 has/had one painted like that.

green and yellow are overpriced anyway, I owned two, got rid of them as fast as I could.
