"New" HB112

Recommended Posts

I just picked up an AC HB112. Tractor is in good shape, less the cruddy paint job someone put on it. Needs a new seat and some TLC. I got the tractor in a trade for a Simplicity 7016 that I got from KillerAC. This will be one of my many winter projects to get this one looking good for the spring shows. I also have several B's in the 110/210 flavor, a 616, 4 AC 300/400 series, a 710, a 916, and a 5216H that I retrieved from the local landfill. In non-AC stuff, I have a Case 195, an MF 14, and a Bush Hog HD12. I hope to be busy restoring for quite a while
Here's some help with the pics ... Kent [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/attach/tmerideth/HB112Front.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/attach/tmerideth/HB112Rear.JPG[/img]

Looks like a very good haul!Is that a sickle bar mower for a 300/400 series in front of the B? Would like to see some pics of the rest of the fleet!

Mack, I am impressed. Why yes,as a matter of fact, that is a sickle bar mower for the 300/400 series. I have never seen one before I found this one. Kent, those are Guide lights. I will admit, I don't know enough about these tractors to know the significance of Guide lights. Appreciate all the comments about this unit. I am proud as punch with it. Killer-AC, thanks for showing me how to upload these pictures.

Tom, Guide brand lights were the original ones sold and/or installed by Allis and Simplicity dealers from kits, rather than aftermarket ones from the local auto parts or HW store. They're worth more than brand new ones from NAPA, for instance....

Sounds like you do have plenty to work on this winter, the massey sounds neat too, I've got an MF16. That sure is a nice HB112. Rob, I too have been watching for one around my area but have yet to find a hydro "B", seems like everyone bought standard 10HP models around here when they were still sold, I guess thats what the dealer pushed.

The going price in New England seems to be $40 or so for a pair that isn't dented or rusted out... with mounting brackets or older style mounting bar, add another $20 to $35...

Thanks Kent. I'll do a search for a good picture to send my nephew, he's a combine mech., thinking he may be able to come across some in farmers back yards if he knows what he's looking for.
