The John Deere 110 lawn and garden tractor launched in 1963. Deere’s collector history identifies the first issue with a cast-iron 7-hp Kohler engine and a Peerless three-speed transmission with variable-speed drive. Those are first-issue details; confirm the year and equipment on an individual tractor before applying them to it.

These points come from John Deere’s history of its lawn and garden equipment. They do not establish a mower-deck width, later-year configuration, or the condition of a used machine.
Identify the tractor before buying parts
- Record the tractor’s product identification and serial information. Use the matching manual or parts catalog for that machine.
- Read the engine’s own model identification and compare it with the tractor record. A replacement engine may not match the first-issue setup.
- Record the mower deck and attachment identifiers separately. Do not infer deck or attachment fit from the tractor name.
- Compare the installed parts with Deere’s model or serial lookup before ordering. Ask a dealer to confirm uncertain substitutions.
Used John Deere 110 inspection
Start with service records and a cold start, then check steering, braking, drive operation, wiring, tires and visible leaks. Inspect the mower deck, guards and attachment mounts with the engine stopped and the key removed. Test operating functions only as described in the correct operator’s manual. A visual checklist is a first screen, not a mechanical diagnosis; have a qualified technician assess faults.
