I bought a 110 in 71 new. My grandson mows with it now. About the only thing major we did to it is rebuild the deck. The Kohler engine is pretty much bulletproof. It does smoke a little but it keeps the mosquitoes away. Enjoy your find, you will probably never need another mower.

Hey Richard, congrats on the 110 find! I bought my Uncle's 110 when he stopped mowing his own yard. I have a '71 112 with a 46'' deck. It is a pleasure to mow with! From Sophia, N.C.

I have an 85 210, pretty neat tractors

wow that ethanol in the gas is horrible never seen it that bad. cool about the snowblower will look great. i had bought an identical one but sat outside with no plug all rusted inside cylinder but atleast the grill was good took it for to put on my 140 with tiller.

Hello From Central Kentucky. I noticed your video and was naturally curious being that I also have both Cub Cadets and John Deere garden tractors. My 110 John Deere has one of the red M8ST Kohler Magnum engines which is a very self contained engine package with all of the components and controls being on the actual engine rather than the Kohler K181 engines that your 110 has for example. The Kohler M8ST engine was utilized on many of the original Troy-Bilt rototillers which kind of explains the self contained features versus the more normal spaced out features that like your 110 has. Unfortunately they butchered my 110 up a bit with a cutting torch to fit the M8ST engine where the K181 used to be. The positive is that I could maybe find a newer replacement engine without much “Heartburn” being that my tractor is already kind of permanently altered. Right now, I do not have the wiring harness in place because whoever did the butchering also did the same with the wiring which was “A Total Rats Nest” and one day I took my wire cutters and put the butchered harness out of its misery. Surprisingly enough, there was a large portion of the original wiring harness that I could very easily repair should I decide to go back to a K181 or larger engine. I am intending to construct a new wiring harness that will be very similar to the OEM wiring harness,,But make the provision for the rectifier that the M8ST Magnum engine has. Because of the difference, I feel that just making up a new wiring harness is the best way to go. I made sure to subscribe to your RU-vid channel and I wish you the very best with your new project. I would greatly encourage you to check out many of the John Deere garden tractor groups and forums because many of them are extremely active and a great resource for both knowledge and finding hard to find parts.
