We had one of these when I was a kid. I loved that tractor. It had a checkered life though. My brother and I were refueling it and spilled gas on the engine. Boom!! My dad rebuilt and it looked pretty good. Then sometime later, it broke and my dad when into one of his fits and beat it up with a wrecking bar. The hood was gone so that made it easy for me to reach up and grab the governor. A JD 110 can go pretty fast when you do that. Then one day the tractor, on it's last legs, succumbed to the wrench a torch. My cousin and I decided to use the rear axle as part of a log splitter we were building. We never finished the log splitter, but we did use the contraption as a really neat thing to pull down the road behind a pickup truck at 50 mph. My brother sat on the axle housing. He's still alive. Now, I wish I had it all back. It's gone forever.
