comet66 Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Picked up this B-210 with a L12 loader on friday. It was retired about 2 years ago and has been sitting in a barn ever since. Put a little gas down the carb and it started right up. When I got it home I drained all the old gas, and put in some new with quite a bit of carb/injector cleaner in it, let it run a bit and shut it down. Smokes pretty hard black, but that is to be expected I guess at this point. After it warms up though it smooths right down and idles pretty well. It has been changed to a coil ignition, and the point cover is of course missing. And the muffler is pretty bad. The rear weight box has several pieces of pvc pipe fastened to it to hole the handles of lawn tools. It was once owned by a cemetary and used for grounds maint. I have a couple of questions though. First I don't think this is the correct hood. Wasn't the hood with the extra pod on top only on the 110-112? Also somebody had put a big ugly angle iron rack on the back to hang suitcase weights on, and the seat wouldn't go up. I cut off his added iron but can't seem to get the brackets to line up right. Anybody have pictures of the correct brackets they could post? Other than a couple of minor dings in the rear of the seat pan, where it hit the homemade brackets when lifted, it looks to be very straight. The bucket has a couple of small holes drilled in it but is very straight. Why do people go to all the trouble to paint these poor tractors, and not bother to get the correct color? Beats me! This bucket is pretty indicitive of the condition of the rest of the tractor. The only decal not painted over. Work lights front and rear. Is this hood correct? The ugly bracket and what they looked like tacken off. As I have no need of this, it will be up for sale when I know a little more about it.
wantedinct Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Looks like a nice score, wish i could find one like that!
Kent Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 The hood is from a B-110 or B-112. Are you sure this isn't a 12HP B-112, instead of a 10HP B-210 with the wrong hood? Looks like the loader (except for paint) is in great shape, with a solid bucket and no obvious hacking/welding on it. Here's the Owner's manual for the equivalent Simplicity: http://www.simpletractors.com/operation/515_loader/front_loader_515.htm Here's the Parts Manual for the L-12. http://www.simpletractors.com/parts/l-12/l-12_loader.htm They can be helpful as you go about restoring it... Looks like a VERY lucky score -- I wish my loader was in that good of shape! :D

I was thinking the same thing as Kent on this one, my reasoning is because it not only has a 100 series hood but also a 100 series steering wheel. Very nice find:D, hope I land one some day.....;)
gregc Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Another loader...some people seem to have the luck finding them. Nice find John. 8D Discard the pieces marked in the pic below and attach seat pan bracket to the upright arms.
comet66 Posted March 13, 2005 Author Posted March 13, 2005 The tag on the console says b-210.That's why I question the hood. I cut off those extra pieces but things still don't line up. I'm not sure the seat pan is correct either. Would the seat pan for the 110-112 be a different length than the 210-212?
gregc Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 quote:Originally posted by comet66 Would the seat pan for the 110-112 be a different length than the 210-212? I can't answer that one John. Maybe some of the other guys can. It looks like the seat pan bracket is too far up under the seat pan to me. Maybe that has been modified.
Kent Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 The seat pan on a B-110 or B-112 is likely double-hinged, while the one on a B-210 is not. Going from memory (too lazy to go to the barn to check), I don't think the uprights should be curved as much as they are, which would cause alignment problems. See this picture of a 515 mounted on a B-112 equivalent: [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/images/515_loader/510_mount_small.gif[/img]
UCD Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 the early B-110 B-112 seat pan was double hinged. The later B-110 B-112 had a single pivot point. I have a B-110 with the double pivot and a B-112 with the single pivot seat. The seat on the tractor above looks like it was raised and moved forward by adding the extra brackets to the rear hitch arms that greg has marked. The seat pan for the B-110, B-112, B-210, B-212, 700, 900 Alis chalmers and 2210, 3012, 3112, 3210, 3212, 3300, 3300, 7000,7100 Series etc. series Simplicity should all be the same. This is the double pivot hinged seat on the early B-110 & B-112
Just_Me Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Hello!! Which part of this setup are you thinking about saleing?????
Killer_A-C Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Looks like a good worker and great find. Nice job,Matt8D
msiebern Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 I have an early B-110 with the double hinged seat. The rear upright brackets are straight on mine as seen below. As you can see, I lost the drive belt yesterday while playing :I
comet66 Posted March 13, 2005 Author Posted March 13, 2005 Maynard and Mike, after seeing your pics I believe that is what I have. I think the secondary hing under the seat pan is just too tight to work. I will check this out in the morning. Man I love this place!!! Thanks Guys!!!
brooksdr Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Don't worry about the bucket holes. My L-12 loader has the same holes. And so did my L-10 that I sold a few months back. These loaders are great. They are very valuble and useful and make a tractor. It is too bad I don't need my L-12 loader anymore since I bought my backhoe. I am going to list just the complete loader setup w/wheel spacers on e-bay in a few days. (man its hard to say that)
Nick Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Nice haul, and I know exactly what you mean about the correct color.
comet66 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 It is so darned obvious, once I saw a picture of it I can't believe I missed it before:I:I:I The bolts were so tight it wouldn't even budge untill loosened.:o):o):o) Double hinged. It's kinda hard to read but this is the tag on the console. Thanks guys, and thanks for the links Kent!
AGCO918 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Nice tractor and loader you have there. Tractor just needs restored now.
mwells Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 How does the loader mount? It looks different from the L-10 and 12's frame.
