Our old 110 JD has been sitting in the shed for years. Since we got the MTD, it hasnt been used. The mower deck has some rust holes in it. I've already relubed all the bearings. Going to patch the deck up and re-enforce it where necessary so we have a backup mower. I am electrolysisly cleaning the deck as we speak and plan to paint it. Thing is I'm not spending any money on it. Dad got about a gallon of Orange Sherbert paint on clearance a while ago. Its good quality paint, but its ORANGE SHERBERT!! I plan on using that for the deck. Dont have any yellow unfortunately. HEHE Now I cant say anything bad about deere (the old ones anyways). This mower is from the late 50's and still runs like a champ. Got a kohler 8 horse that would blow away most "12.5" HP engines on the market today. You can just tell they rate these new engine for poop when they try to get every last .5 horse into the actual rating. The tractor itself is in decent shape for its age. The deck has been fixed a few times, but I dont think its been painted properly afterwards. I hope to get some pics when its done. It sure should look ridiculous, but at least it wont rust away, heh.

My dad had a tractor, a Farmall A which was used mostly to run the thrashing machine, a seed drill and for plowing. I remember locals used to help each other and threshing was done from daylight to after dark, one farm to another until all farms were done.
