This is one of those "ultra-rare B-112 kit lawnmowers. I haven't seen very many. Kind of a DIY thing to help familiarize one with the machine so maintenance will be easier later. LOL!
Anyway, I heard about it through a guy I work with who lives in NC. He said the guy that had it was planning to restore it, but lost interest. Said it had the hood and front end removed. I thought, heck, that'll just make it easier to get going, already having the hood out of the way. Then he calls me back the day before he's delivering it to me and says, "well, it's been taken apart a little more than he at first said". I had already gotten myself in the mood for a new toy, so I told him to go ahead and bring it. One good thing was that it wasnt too hard to load on my truck, just took several trips. LOL! Stay tuned for pics.

OK, here's a couple of it so far. The last one has it kinda mocked up. I'll keep everyone posted as I get to work on it.

It only took them about 30 minutes to put it together at the factory, might take a few minutes longer for you to do it but at least the pieces are small and fairly light.

You better call that short, fat, skinny guy to help you on this one. I would scrape it, the thread on the back tires don't match. HA HA! Have fun!

Yeah, I wouldn't take on anything like this if it was easy. LOL! Guess I like a challenge.
So far, most of it is there, including bolts and such. I am missing the blade belt cover, all of the guards for the roto-tiller(looks like it broke off), and the stop plate for the lift lever. Guy that I bought it from might have the stop, but he says the belt cover and tiller guards are gone. His dad bought it new, and probably just left the belt cover off so he wouldnt have to clean under it. Tiller guards probably same situation. Any one knows where I can find these pieces, let me know.
sam, I was thinkin of putting farm tread on the rear anyhow, so the mis-matched rubber wasn't a deal-breaker.LOL! I am NOT planning to buy them at TSC. They want $100.00 apiece for those little rascals!
Where have you guys gotten parts for these at? I will replace all of the belts, seals, etc while it is apart.
Also, does anyone know about the paint code for this? I would assume that the rims would just be plain white, right? What about decals?

Dream, I have 11 B series L&G. Parts are relatively easy to find for them.

Yeah Glenn, I actually got that bracket welded back on the idler axle of the plow last weekend(so I could roll it out to unload the "lawn tractor pile".LOL!) The plow is going to require a little more tinkering. I just noticed the idler axle seems to be bent, causing the "tow end", for lack of a better word, to be off some. Nothing a rosebud and a strategically placed comelong won't fix. Also need to free up the trip mechanism and shaft that goes through the ratchet-side axle. It's all rusted up. I'll need some advice from the rope-pullers on here for that.
51, now I know why B-112s are hard to find. LOL! There's no way you can use all 11 at one time, so send me a few spare parts. LOL! I would like to see a pic of that 112 with the grader blade. I know a local gentleman with a B-112 with belly mower and sickle mower. Original owner. Shelter kept original. Still uses it.
Hey Tractorkid, welcome aboard! You have come to the best forum in the known world. Answers for any questions you may have, and some you haven't thought to ask yet. LOL! I have worked on a lot of these B-series tractors, as well as some of the AC 700 series tractors, but never owned one myself. Most of the work I did was just a matter of getting them started back up from sitting(some for 10 years or more, with little trouble to get going). Not a lot of major parts replacement or excessive wear. Like you said, they are tanks. I'm looking forward to getting her cleaned up, some fresh paint on, and back to work.
