42 years and still running

[706jim]

I'm the second owner of an 8 horsepower Kohler powered model 110 garden tractor; vintage 1969. It needs repairs to the transaxle, so I figure I may find some useful information on these forums.
This machine is presently used as a towing tractor for a small trailer on an island and has faithfully negotiated some fairly rough terrain without complaint.
Compared to present day machines of far greater horsepower, the 110 is largely heavy gauge steel and cast iron construction and should hopefully last another 40 years with a bit of care.

Welcome to TBN 706jim

I've got the same 1969 110. Been thinking about selling it but not because it's got anything wrong with it.. I just have too many machines and not enough storage room. Right now my small machinery consists of 1 running lawn tractor and 2 running garden tractors and 2 self propelled walk behind mowers..also have 2 large sheds full of tools a full barn and no room left under the carport (L35TLB, skid steer & golf cart).. even I know something has to go...:laughing:

I'll sell it for a good price if you need a running 110 complete with a good transaxle and a solid mower deck.

Welcome. Here's hoping you find info here that will be helpful. :tractor::welcome:

Thanks for the lead Irwin. I'm a long way from you (Thunder Bay in the center of Canada) so shipping something that heavy would be expensive. Presently, mine requires a new input pulley bearing that I'm going to try and repair this fall. FWIw, maybe you could send me a private message to give me an idea of what sort of $$ you are looking for. (I think this message board allows these, but this is really only my first post here)
