AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #1 Posted February 13, 2017 Just picked this up this weekend. I have mostly wheel horse but Always wanted one of these. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #2 Posted February 13, 2017 Nice. It appears to be a 1966 since the foot rests appear to be bolted on and it has the wording "Variable Speed Drive" on the dash. What's the serial number and type code? In 1966, Deere would use a different type code for not only the tractor model, but the tire and rim set up. See the charts below taken from the operator's manual. BTW, if need any manuals, pm me with your email address and I'll send you some. I have a '66 also.

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #4 Posted February 13, 2017 Yep, a 1966 and the type code T1031 with the "10" meaning a 110, and the "3" indicates tire/rim of GT-3 which is 16 x 6.50-8 front tires and 23 x 8.50-12 High Flotation tires (turf tires, and the "1" means manual lift. A "2" would have been a hydraulic lift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #5 Posted February 13, 2017 Yes, I actually found that info last night. It's a very nice tractor. The tires are new and the hood is perfect with no cracks. The lights are original equipment but just not wired up. Once I'm done with my rj35s that one will be next for a resto. I actually like the position of your lights better than on the hood. Be nice to find some hubcaps like yours too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #6 Posted February 13, 2017 I have all four of the hubcaps and I thought about selling them. They're not perfect, but close. The front ones aren't on in the pictures because on the narrow rims I have, the dust cap sticks out too far, which isn't a problem on the wider rims like yours. Below is a picture with just the front caps installed on the wider rims. On the position on the lights, there is actually a template in the light install instructions that shows the location on the hood and the left rear fender for the tail light. It looks like the headlights on yours are too far back from what Deere recommended in that template. 110_112_RF_Headlight_ and_Rear_Lamp_Installation_with_Template(AM30974-Form_M443-766).pdf 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #10 Posted February 18, 2017 Finally got the missing pulley cover for it today 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496 #11 Posted February 19, 2017 Just a note here, the muffler on it now is Deere's replacement for the original. It's okay and is what I have on mine, but if you want it to look original, HAPCO sells the reproduction originals. Unfortunately they're out of stock now, but I'm sure they will get more in soon.
