Ford 1100 Tractor

CoveredWagon2 · Mar 4, 2026

I recently purchased a Ford 1100 with a mid-mount mower deck. The 3 point raises and lowers, the PTO works, and the engine and transmission seem solid. I am concerned about the alternator, but I can deal with that.
I haven't figured out how to engage the mower deck. Does anyone have some insight?

Welcome to TBN. Not familiar with that one, does it have a mid mounted PTO? If so look for a mechanical LEver. If it doesn't look for a electrical PTO button.

Once you find it be sure to report back so others looking for it will come across this and you in turn have helped another down the tractor road.

Did a quick google search, it seems your 1100 may have an electric clutch. So I'd suspect you have a switch to turn it on somewhere. Try cranking it on and try turning on your switches until you find it.

It does have an electric clutch. I found the switch! It is a "Pull Knob" on the dash! The mower deck works, but I will have to replace a few belts and check the blades.
