I am not aware of any major changes throughout the production run, you will also want to make sure it has the features you desire. Many of the optional hyd add on's where not offered as field installed but as factory only. So things like rear remotes, 7 function hoe, etc there is no oem kit to add those features. Good luck

The 110 was unchanged through it's entire production run which ended in 2011.
Best advice I can offer is to seek an 110 with all the rear hydraulic SCV's as it's pricey to add additional SCV's after the fact and Deere doesn't offer a kit.

Always liked your setup Doc... mine only has the front aux hydraulics... no rear which would be nice for a thumb or hydraulic posthole digger.

yep, I have no regrets buying my 110

I am glad I bought mine with the full hydraulics 3 front and 3 rear, 7 function hoe and the Laurin cab. The top and tilt hitch with telescopic links added later makes it a very versatile machine.

Doc,
You might consider the stabilizer cylinder guards too. Your 110 looks real nice.:thumbsup:

Installed the stabilizer cylinder guards a year after I bought the tractor, I'm glad I did. Dropped a rock on one of my
cylinder guards!!!!

 

[GreatWhitehunter]

I need to order the guards for mine as I'm about to rebuild both stabilizer cylinders from seal damaged caused by niks and scratches.

Cost of the stabilizer cylinder guards was $132. and the Skid Plate was $490. plus $190. shipping
GR Manufacturing would not take orders from the customer, I had to go thru a JD dealer

Doc,
I have not found a need to use more than one floor jack to remove/install the belly pan. If it is centered roughly it is easy to handle. When I ordered mine in 2005 I added all the extras except a radio. Don't ever listen to them anyway.

 

[GreatWhitehunter]

Mine does have the skid plate which I'd say is the most important guard.
That is very reasonable for the stabilizer guards. I'll have to order some up.
The cylinder rebuilds cost more than that.

Thanks:
I will try it with one jack the next time I need to take the pan off.

Doc,
I am repairing my 110 over the next month before starting the next job. I broke the side glass window on a branch Friday, no one to blame but myself. I also will need to replace the strobe light as it has died on me too. After 12 years of use I want to get everything in top shape and will be adding a wiring harness for the Topcon machine control.

The cup holder smv sign, I have one of those I haven't used it yet because it isn't easily mounted to the cab.
The Laurin cab needs new window latches, they seem to wear out and won't stay open.
Time for new wiper blades front and rear.
Need to replace one of the couplers on the boom for the 7th function as it has a slow leak.
Change the anti freeze.
Buy a 24" quick coupler bucket.
Replace a couple of zerks giving me trouble.
A few cans of touch up paint and clean and wax.

Not to bad for 12 years to make it look like new. Hydraulic fluids and lof's are all current as well as new batteries, filters.

I have to add that this has been a good small backhoe and I have been very satisfied with the purchase overall.

 

[DocDryden]

Sometimes I wish I had a cab on my 110 (Nov thru April).
I've had my 110 for almost 4 years. The only problem that I had is the power steering hoses had rubbed thru each other, I have a little noise coming from the steering wheel (only in the cold months). If you'r not going to use the cup holder / smv sign, would you like to sell it?

 

[GreatWhitehunter]

Doc, it looks as though Deere has changed the part #'s as well as an overhaul of the JDparts site. As I was looking for a few of the items you listed.
But the good news from my tour over there was that deere is finally offering the seat in individual parts rather than the entire unit.
My see cushions are in need of replacement. The southern sun really did a number on them and the cold in New England split the vinyl pretty good. Deere was only offering the entire seat to the tune of $1200 .

My cushions have taken a beating... how much are they nicking you?
