Narrow Front-End Kits For Deere 110 Garden Tractors
The tractors were originally equipped with front wheels spaced 30 in. apart. The kit is designed to convert the tractor to a narrow front end and comes with a pedestal and steering rod, as well as oversize front and rear wheels. The front wheels are 16 in. high, which is 3 in. higher than the originals. The rear wheels measure 26 in. high, which is 3 in. higher. Spacers allow you to unbolt the fenders and raise them to make room for the oversized rear wheels.
"They're fun to ride in parades, and people also use them as ębutt buggies' to get around at farm shows," says Miles. "The tractor can't be used to mow grass any more because of the narrow front wheels, but of course you can still pull stuff with the drawbar."
According to Miles, Deere's first 110 series tractors were made from 1963 to 1967. Their second series were made from 1968 to 1974 before they switched to the 200 series. "My kit is designed to fit all three series," he says.
The kit sells for $650 plus S&H depending on the model. Specify your model and serial number when ordering.
He also offers hoods for the tractors, available primed. The hoods sell for $100 plus S&H.
