I've seen a lot of 110 s, but don't know if I've seen the 112. 110 I don't think was heavy enough for attachments. Maybe that where the 112 came to be.
I'm not sure that the 112 is much heavier than the 110 but I can tell you that the single blade plow/harrow tool does a hell of a job making trenches for wires and to trench a gravel driveway for drainage troughs.
Cub Cadet, Allis Chalmers, Bolens. My neighbor actually has an old model Bolens, that some kin folk gave him. As large a unit as my JD 316, if not bigger. Has a push blade & tiller with it, but not hooked up. Mower deck mounted for now. It would need some work to get it running again. Been sitting 5 years or more, covered. He's never used it, & never will. I can get more info on it, if interested.
If the price is right and it's something I can make use of yes I'm interested. What model is the Bolens?
Well, it's actually a 1700 Hydro Elimmator. Which is an odd name for a hydro powered drive. And the model is 5018H, which one would think, 50" deck, with 18 hp. But, research seems to show the Kohler engine to be 17 hp.
That is officially the most badass lawnmower I have ever seen!I mow my yard with a 1978 Allis Chalmers 720. It, and most other AC mowers, were made by Simplicity. Mine is the same thing as a Simplicity 9020. The only downfall is the lack of available parts. They were way ahead of their time. It has a 3 speed range box and is hydrostatic on top of that. There were tons of hydraulic accessories,, even a front end loader. PTO in the rear was an option as well as front hydraulic remotes. The deck is 60" and it raised and lowered via cables that run to the hydraulic 3 pt hitch. The deck is located by two arms that mount it to the front axle. It rides on 6 rollers across the back so it mows as good as anything you'll find today. I got lucky and found a warehouse in Wisconsin that had about 50 new old stock blades and bought two sets of them. It had 7.50-16 Ag tires on it when i bought it. I found some turf tires with wheels on ebay for $200. Put them on and all it would do is spin. Wheels were 15x10 and tires were 31x12.50s so after some thought, I remembered who made a 31x12.50 that would work great and I couldn't be any happier with the half tread boggers. I bought it with 800 hrs. It was originally powered by a 19.9 hp Onan. I had it on a steep hill and the Onan let go. Prob ran it low on oil. There's a company called Small Engine Warehouse that sells repower kits for the most popular older models. Thanks to them, mine is now powered by a new 23 hp B&S Vanguard. It was a direct bolt swap. Even had the wiring harness adapter and a muffler that put the exhaust out in the stock location.

How does it do on sidehills? Considered doing an Aetna cut or TN cut on the boggers for better tracking? I like those grooved squat-truck fronts you're rockin'
It does great. When I bought the mower, it had the ribs in the front and the 7.50-16 ag's on the rear and it was destroying my yard. When I ordered the turf tires, I got fronts and rears. The rears spun and the fronts wouldn't stay on a hill so I made the decision to go with the boggers and I bought a new set of ribs for the front at the same time. I didn't want full tread boggers cause I knew they would tear up my yard too. I found a member on here that bought a set of 4 at half tread and he only needed 2 for his vw rail. It will stay on a hill to the point that the front slides down the hill and at that point its already so steep that I'm having to hold on to the uphill fender to stay on the mower. I really haven't found a need to cut them. I think I would be back to the original problem at that point. I run just enough air in the back to keep the beads seated and it's worked perfect so far.How does it do on sidehills? Considered doing an Aetna cut or TN cut on the boggers for better tracking?
