Makes it a special truck since it was your dad's, Jim!It’s my dads old 94 Ranger. I use it when I haul a few things instead of using my trailer.
Yeah Doug he gave it to me a year or so before he passed away. He couldn’t see good enough to drive. He bought it new, it’s got the V 6, extended cab, larger rear end and brakes.Makes it a special truck since it was your dad's, Jim!

Sounds like a nice ride, Jim! Post a pic of it sometime!Yeah Doug he gave it to me a year or so before he passed away. He couldn’t see good enough to drive. He bought it new, it’s got the V 6, extended cab, larger rear end and brakes.
The chute coming off the deck is the most critical area. I was watching this link on YouTube for myself for a later project.Did some work on the free bagger setup that I got for my 1440 last year. It was off a newer Cub Cadet, but similar enough to make it work on mine. The way I had it on before, the chute didn’t fit the deck right, and grass and leaves would catch on the edge and plug it up. I trimmed some plastic off that was in the way, and heated it so I could bend it to fit around the outside of the deck. I cut a few pieces of aluminum flashing and riveted them on to fill in the gaps. It’s not heavy enough, but it was easy to work with for testing. It’s working pretty good now, so I will eventually redo it with heavier metal and make it permanent. Or I could just buy the correct chute to fit my deck, and I may do that if I find one cheap. I also put a set of high lift blades on which helped a lot. I used it the past three weekends to clean up leaves and it is working much better now. It has 3 bags, and I probably dumped them about 100 times between the 3 weeks. The piles are getting big. I will be back at it again tomorrow. Most of the leaves are down now, so that may be the last time for this year.

Getting out of the recliner.What are you currently working on??
Yep, I figured that out. I never thought to make a chute out of fiberglass. That’s a good idea, and I may try it. Thanks for the link.The chute coming off the deck is the most critical area. I was watching this link on YouTube for myself for a later project.
That may be a hit and miss on the belt size Rick. You might have to do the old fashion method of using a rope. You might try one of the other forums where JD’s and specs are more common. I’ve had a few friends give me stuff and refuse to take anything. Although being thankful it’s hard for me to take things for free. Like you mentioned you can do something nice for them later. That’s a nice tractor and now deck combo.Anyone know the drive belt size for a 1965 J.D. 110. Serial number A 19146?

The deck looks a lot like the one on my flat fender, Rick, but from there I can't tell if the deck drive belt would be the same one. The engine pto on yours looks different. Think there may be some numbers on the belt on mine.A few months back I brought home 1965 J.D.110 round fender. Just the basic tractor. Yesterday when visiting a friend I mentioned needing a mower deck. He walked me out back of the shop and said …take this one. A brass tag 39“ mower deck.
He had acquired a 110 round fender this summer and removed the deck from it. He wouldn’t take any money and I wasted no time in loading it. Somewhere down the road I will make it up to him
I got it installed today. Just need the belt from the mule drive to the deck. After I run it and decide it will work for me I will take it back off. It will be winter project to refurbish it this winter.
