Don't know why, kinda a wild hair but I did it. While back my dad gave me the old 69 110 tractor. I learned to drive on this thing. Well got it running good and thought I'd use it to mow this year. But we are getting an unusual amount of snow and he also gave me the snow plow, wheights, and chains. Gotta say this old thing is fun. Anybody else fool with one of these old things?

My dad had one when I was a teenager, he made sure I was very familiar with it.
Sure was a step up over the old Yazoo push mowers too.

A guy I work with has one, but he just uses his to cut grass with. We don't get much snow here in SC, and when we do it's usually gone before you can scrape it off the driveway LOL.

guy i rented a trailer from for 8 years had one - that's what I used to mow until he showed up one day with a dixon ztr...
still used the JD to push snow and rototill the garden.
also used it for mowing around the fences and the pond where the ztr wouldn't go.
good machines!

We moved into our house in 1981. I bought a circa 1970 JD 112 with mower, snow blower, dozer blade. Built a weight box for the back, added wheel weights and chains, and did an amazing amount of work. That was my principal snow moving machine until about 1988, when I got a 9N for the heavier work. I excavated for my shop addition with the 112 and learned that if you can get enough traction, the transaxle becomes the weak link. Repaired it, though, better than when I first got it. Gave both the 112 and 9N to my father in law in about '91 when I got the 755.

I had a 110 with a mower and snow blower. Bought it used in 1974 (??) or so. Used it for a few years until I got tired of fixing it. Mowed over an acre with it and cleared a sizeable driveway. The snow plow worked pretty good....but lift and steering by armstrong was annoying....especially for my wife. I beleive the guy I sold it to rebuilt it and is still using it for snow.
I think I got my money back upon selling the 110.....and moved up to a 212 for a year or two...then 317 and onto a 318's (X-2). Now have a nice 425 w/ FEL and accessories which is being passed on to my son-in-law.
In each case I bought used and got most of (if not all) my money back upon resale. Not too shabby.

I have a 1973 110 that I used yesterday to blow snow. Bought it used in 1978. Mower deck gave up the ghost a few years ago so it lives in the shed waiting for my retirement & rebuild. 110 sleeps 3 seasons & only works in the winter now. MikeD74T
