fireman 1,021 #4 Posted June 15, 2016 Very Nice! I'd kill for one in that condition. I've got a super rare attachment that's just itching to be mounted on a 110 or 112. It's called the Buccateer. It was made by a company called Research Products for John Deere. I have only seen two others. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,408 #7 Posted June 15, 2016 Very sharp looking tractor. I'm an all brands fan myself. may be first in my book, but I definitely appreciate the quality of all vintage equipment. Especially when they're fine looking like that! I'm curious though, could you fill me in on the winch mounting? I've got one of those hand crank one's and a box of steel cable I picked up on clearance. Just been looking for a clean way to mount it to the trailer. I like what you have set there... but it looks like you crank while standing on the trailer? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,932 #8 Posted June 15, 2016 Excuse my ignorance of JD's guys but what year would this be? Does look like it would have been one heck of a worker in its day! Front griil/headlights kinda reminds me of a 953??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,408 #10 Posted June 15, 2016 68-74... Pretty sure the 66-67 years were round fender, not flat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I stand off to the side on the ground, and reach over the rail and crank it. I bloted the winch and the center pulley, I didn't want to weld on my new trailer. If you want I could get pics? 1 hour ago, CasualObserver said: 68-74... Pretty sure the 66-67 years were round fender, not flat. Yes you are correct, 68 to 74 for the flat pan 110 and 112 series tractors. They were and are good GT's but a bit harder to work on then Wheel Horses.

elliot ness 1,916 #12 Posted June 19, 2016 Got to run the JD-112 today for the first time since it was rebuilt, run it for about 2 hrs, and going to change the brake in oil. lubed every thing and set the carb. and it purrs like a kitten. Going to sell it soon and by a few more Wheel Horses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,508 #13 Posted June 21, 2016 Just for clarification, the 66 and 67 112s were round fender. In 1968, they went to the square fender design, and kept that design until 1974. In 1975 the 110 and 112 was replaced by the 200 series. Changes were made throughout the square fender production run, to include a beefier frame, different lift options, upgrading to a Kohler engine option, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johndeereelfman 309 #14 Posted August 30, 2016 I'm going to take a stab at it and say the year of this 112 is a 1970. If I'm correct, the type code on your serial plate would be T0652, and your serial number will fall between 180,001-225,000. Very nice tractor Elliott. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
