Thanks Bert, we have only had a couple snows this season, about 5" total, last year we had 48"by now. Only had the blade, no cab or blower. Hope to use them some yet this winter.

Hi Bob, fine looking 332 snow-clearing combo you have there and very neat-appearing resting area for it too! Hope you have an opportunity to tackle some snow soon, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing some, extreme and very unusual lack of precipitation around here this winter.

Tony
After restoring my 120 and buying several grills that were incorrect, yes the tab circled in red is for the grill. Same grill as is on my 69 patio 110. I think they refer to these as the grills with the spring / snap pin grill. It is important to get the right grill if you have the headlight panel. If you use the other grills, it hits the lights when you try to open the hood. Good luck with your resto, I really enjoy my 120 as it still gets used to mow part of my lawn.

HELP- I have a 49 tall blower for my 332, the belt pulley on the blower was loose when I got it, how far onto the shaft should it be? Next ?, doe's the idler pulley set behind the hook arm or between the blower frame and the hook? I have tried to find this info, with no luck. If any one can point me in the right direction, it would be great. Thanks for any help. Bob

OK, I have a question on this already. Is the bracket in the red circle for the front grill? If so, what kind of grill should I ask for in the 'Wanted' section?

Went over to my off site storage location to bring my 'new to me' 120 home. I already sold off the 46" deck that was on it, so after that, I have $120 invested in this 120. It seems to all be there except for the front grill.

We are looking at a 140 H1 with what looks like either a factory or very well fitted hard cab. The cab has the hard doors. My question is this...did Deere offer a kit to get at the fuel / battery area without raising the front of the cab upward? this one has a very cleanly formed, rounded edge access door in the top of the hood. I can not load a picture at the moment to show.

Guys, we didn't add a new sponsor - this sponsor has been with us for years. They just added a new product. It's the same sponsor that brought us "Superior Scoop". Check their product line.

Here's a snapshot of WFM from May 2011 using the Wayback Machine. Notice that in the spot that "Terra Grips" currently occupies, "Superior Scoop" had that spot.

jason, you need half of it for the tiller. Just the brackets that mount to the tractor frame. You dont need the u shaped part.

My newly acquired 140 seems to have a serious tick under load. I know the logical cure would be to rebuild, it should be fairly easy since it don't smoke and has good compression. Somehow I seem to be hearing twin calling me. Anybody ever squeezed a Honda GX620 into a 140? I know there are kits out there and complete Vanguards ready to install. I've always been impressed by Honda equipment. Any reason why one wouldn't work? The biggest drawback I've found is the Honda is over 20lbs heavier. Any input would be appreciated.

Tony JD never published production numbers for lawn equipment except for 1963 110s and 1966 112s. JD made 1000 of each of those. They were not building them for collectors but to sell. Roger

Ron, you're right, there is a new sponsor. There's some interesting tire chains on there. Might be just the ticket for those who are worried about scaring up their driveways.

Either will work. 49s are lighter and easier to put on, easier to find and do a very good job. 47s are heavier, bigger, require more rear weight, are harder to move around and install but generally throw snow further. I can't prove this but I suspect 47s may work better in deep snow. Roger

Gentlemen,
I would appreciate your thoughts and advice. I have the opportunity to purchase either a JD 47 or a JD 49 snowblower for my JD 322. Of course the 47 is $350 more. I have a fairly long drive way. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks,

Here's a better translation (those web translators are rubbish...):

Hello, my JD 110 mower tractor with 8hp motor and gearbox is in working order. I have mounted a 40" snowplow,
I built a trailer hitch which needs painting, the picture is accurate, no fixes, no insurance, no warranty, no returns, must be picked
up in 3 days
(and the battery needs replacing)

Guys, It appears to be a square fender 112 with a Kohler engine. It's pretty whipped. Flat tires, no deck, hood broken away from hinges. It's supposed to run, but there's no battery in it to confirm that. Might be a good source for parts. I'm not interested in it as I have 110's and 200 series tractors that keep me busy. Stop by Zito's and make an offer before Rich junks it. Ed Horan

Edward,
I guess I will have to visit Zito's(Slate Hill) more often to see what he has there. My problem is I don't get thru there til almost 6PM and they are closed and Saturday mornings are just too busy to make a road trip. My wife always gives me a funny look as I slow down by Zito's & the other one in Denton.
Mark,
Good find!

Terry Reed, Thank You
I have to say you called it. I had a 1 wrote down, but crossed it out. Mainly because I did not have my glasses on.

Edward, I don't know if this went through Slate Hill or not, but it ended up on top of the scrap pile when I first saw it. I wanna kick that crusher operators arse for not setting to the side when it first came in.

I will post some pics tonight. It has a rear lift kit, which I really need for my 212.

Mark,
There is something missing in the type code. It probably is T0651 and that serial number would make it a 1970 112.

I could use some help here. I purchased another green machine. Kind of a basket case missing a lot of parts. But the serial number is as follows.

T065 163001

I tried it in the registry and it said it didn't exist. Can someone tell me what I might be reading wrong.

I am bringing it home tomorrow, but curiosity makes me have to ask. It has a Tecumseh motor, no hood or deck and busted front axles. I think it is a 100 series, but I do not know for sure.

Thanks Mark

I have seen a lot of double posts, all these errors and you end up posting a lot. I had 3 in a row when I kept getting an error about uploading the picture and when I went to delete them I got errors there too, but finally got it down to 1 post.

I have found that if you are patient, it will come back. I usually just go check my email or something, and when I come back it's working. I figure we've just got so many people on WFM now that we're overloading the server every once in a while. It seems to be worse when everyone has the weekend off.

Sort of reminds me of the "Outer Limits"

There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling the transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For your visit here, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your computer. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the Weekend Freedom Machines.

Thanks Terry,

I just knew it could not have been any fault of our beloved Macs...

Guys,
It's the site. Please be patient.

Roger,
I also have a Mac Mini and an iMac at home. My iMac is an '06 variant, Intell running 10.4.11 and my Mac Mini is an early one, a G4 running 10.5.7. Love the Macs.

There is something going on with the site. It isn't you computer. With me it seems it gives me about 10 minutes of time on the site and then starts blocking access. I am working on a fairly new MAC mini operating LION. Roger

Jerry, My Windows XP laptop won't find the site at all a lot of the time. Takes 10 minutes just to get in. Must be time for a melt down of the server or something.

When I am on another computer that has Windows XP, it's a miracle if I can post or manuver on this site. (May be the computer but it happens alot)
I come to my main computer, duel core turbo charged, and Windows 7, I fly around the site pretty well. Maybe the older windows isn't reading WFM well enough?

Brian,
Just remove the two bolts and loosen the third. If it's not a JD belt, and not the right one, then it will come off under load.

Joe,
It's not just you, but everyone.

I've been having lots of problems with the site locking up lately. Is this what others are experiencing also? I don't think it is my computer as other sites load with no issues.

IF the blower floated and you are using the same hydro ports, then the blade should float as well.
