This is the enemy .
He will try to outdo your cub cadet.
He will try to say,"like a cub cadet",and you guys "oh mine jd does this or my jd does that",who cares

But it is a 110 JD.

Scrap yard find,came with a brass tag deck and brass tag snowthrower,wheel weights too!Hood and lights were toast,but the rears are the same as the 1x6 and 1x7 cub cadets
Got it running,smokes a little,variator is froze up but I used it to cut grass and it was very quiet.

turn away your young and impressionable children cause this is the part of the show I will post pictures............

What is a "variator" ?

And the rear rims are on backwards!

Thanks Kelly,but is it really going to be saved

A variator is a cheap JD creeper,that uses belts,pulleys and 'hokus pocus" to make it work....

I don't know a damn thing about jd's, is the brass tag you mention a big deal?

Nice square fender Lew.

Cough cough did I just say that?? Shhhh!! I just passed on one because it was too roached. They also shared the k series too right? One I passed on had k181. I think years are 68 to 74? I did a little homework when I was going to get it but then said.....nah

And Mr. Bond is right, rear rims on backwards, the enemy is trying to imitate a cub with valve stems on the outside, it must be destroyed!

Nice to hear you've joined the LGBT community with the JQ. When's the parade?

But seriously, that should net you a few bucks on the sell.

Grew up on those (dad bought it before he went to work for IH). The Deeres use variable speed pulley as opposed to hydrostatic. You could "slip the clutch all you wanted with no damage and no jerking because all you were doing was moving the variable speed pulley. You have a lever on the right side of the dash that served as a adjustable stop for the max speed you wanted to go in each gear. Transmission is a 4 speed, Peerless I believe, same as in some on Craftsman mowers and Zippy's Case. I don't know how well the setup worked under heavy loads but it did great for mowing grass. I think the lawn and garden dept got the idea from the ag depts. combines. I have 2 Deere combines with the same basic drive system, except you use a hydraulic cylinder the move the variable speed pulley (its about 18" in dia. and 150-200 lbs) Anyway, that's how a variable speed Deere works.
