John Deere 110, 112 or ???

[JD Indy]

I purchased and restored this John Deere under the assumption it was a 1967 110 (was decaled and represented as a 110 before restoration). However, I now question what model I really have here. The serial number is 007154M & type is T2314 per the tag. The Kohler engine tag is worn badly but I can read two numbers A78366 and 301980.

All to say....can anyone help tell me what I have here? Based on my research the serial number appears to be a 112 but I don't think the engine matches with a 112. If it is a 112 vs 110, is this going to be a hit to its potential resale value?

As much a 110 as i have ever seen.

The tractor is a 1967 model. The serial number and type number make it a 112 but everything else makes it a 110. Parts can get switched around over 46 years. Unless you want to start over on your restoration and prepare for concours competition, no one should be concerned.

Look like a 110 to me.
I can make you a heck of a deal on a square fender 112

I'm obviously kind of new to garden tractors, so what are key differences between 110 & 112's? Was it just the engine?

According to tractordata.com the 1966 and 1967 JD 112 had round fenders.

In 1968 they changed the 110 and 112 to the square fender models.

Since there were FEWER 112 round fenders, I would think that they would be more valuable collector wise than the 110 round fender.

But, I'm a "Bolens Guy", and have no idea as to what the JD guys might say.

That's a very nice looking tractor. The big difference between the 110 and 112 was the engine. Most other parts were the same. The 110 and 112 used different frame part numbers but they look the same to most people. The 112 had a bigger mower deck which was the reason John Deere thought they needed more power. See WeekendFreedomMachinesDOTcom for lots more information.

Steve is right. The ser# comes back as a 112. The 110 used a 8 hp Kohler motor. The 112 used a 10 horse Tecumseh motor. Nice looking tractor. Nobody would know the difference if you didn't tell them.Several people part these out. You could get a ser# plate and change it if you wanted.
