Check out this mint 1968 B112


Sticklor B-112

Recommended Posts

This is my newest obsession, AC B-112 I bought from original owner this past summer. Came with 48" deck,and 42" thrower this tractor is mint and original. Only painted hood and seat. I just found a homelite C/T10 with tiller, mower, thrower and wagon. Nice shape just needs a little clean up will post those pictures when I am done obsessing over this new one. Hey guys I see a lot of big tractor tread type tires on B-112. dose anyone know where I could find these Paul

Really nice tractor Paul. The weight box is a neat design, do you know if it's an aftermarket piece or a home-brew one of a kind?

300lb, makes me think i need more weight in my loader tractor. my weightbox (oem) fits 4 4x8x16 cinderblocks (the flat ones) on end without any room to spare..like it was made for it..tho weight is prob 125lbs or so? Anyone know the original reccomended weight for weight box on loader? btw nice tractor! scott

Nice tractor but that looks like an awful lot of weight for blowing snow. It appears you've got 50 lbs on each rear wheel plus the weightbox. 400 lbs plus an operators weight might be enough to stress the axles.

From the Simplicity MFG 515 Loader Operations Manual: Always operate loader with proper amount of counterweight in weight box (100 to 300 lbs.) When moving with a loaded bucket always carry bucket low and operate tractor slowly. A loaded bucket, carried high, reduces tractor stability. Good operators always carry loads low for added stability. http://www.simpletractors.com/operation/515_loader/pages_4-5.htm

Hey Chris this machine seems to have no problem pulling this weight the 100 LBS. wheel weights are over the tires so I don't think this is contributing to axle weight but thankyou for your concern Paul PS check out my CT-10 Homelite I just got

That weight box is sweet! It sure would be nice to be able to easily add and remove weight as needed. Once you put a hydraulic lift on the tractor it sould be perfect! I wish mine was that nice looking. Mark

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
