looking to buy a JD TLB 110 anything i should be looking out for that may be common problem. How many hours should that motor last before it needs to be rebuilt.
thanks

Welcome to TBN,
The biggest issue is the loader mount bolts, if they where allowed to get loose the bell housing casting would crack.
The Yanmar engine are pretty bulletproof, as are the e-hydro transmissions if they are well maintained.

I believe there are a few tbn treads about it, but a quick google search should bring good results.

I wish you luck, most 110 owners are quite helpful, so if you have any perspective units, post details.

some cost/expense factors to consider:
-if the tires have been filled with liquid ballast...saves about $300; lots of confusion in blogs about ballast but if you carefully read the JD manual they say 'have it done by a professional/tire store'. Unit has much-improved stability with tire ballast (fyi: also be careful trying to operate without the hoe on the back, way tippy)
-if you are in snow country there is no way to put chains on the rears without wheel spacers...a cost of hundreds of dollars
-side exhaust pipe gets pretty stinky and conversion to a vertical is another few hundred bucks (JD has marks under the hood for the cutout which if used makes a tight job raising the hood so a snug press fit pipe is nice for easy removal)

Deere does not recommend filled tires when using the hoe--extra stress to the out-riggers? I have never heard of a failure, but I had a leaking stabilizer cylinder, without the tires filled.

I think the hardest thing to find is the aux rear hydraulic option--not all have the 7th function on the hoe, but that can be added, with much less difficulty than the 3pair of rear remotes
