HB112?

[D-17_Dave 12]

I'm familar with the HB212 but did they make a HB112? My lit. only covers the first year of the 100 series, was the hydro added just before the 200 line came out?

Dave, yea there was a HB-112 built, not sure as to what years but I believe the 112's were only made in 67 and 68. Used the vickers hydo..MPH

Here's a pic of new member Ed England's original one... an HB-112 with hydraulic lift -- a quite rare tractor, I'd imagine... http://www.simpletractors.com/images/gallery_images/ee_hb212_small.jpg

That tractor is kinda special to Ed. In the 60's Ed was one of those many AC lawn & Garden Dealers that operated out of their homes. He sold that tractor new. Last year he bought it back from the person he sold it to those many years ago. Its in excellent shape mechanically, everything original even the engine and tires- and it does not use oil yet. Supposedly its going to a body shop this summer to get stripped down and professionally repainted and decaled for show. Ed is where I learned the ropes on AC and Simplicity. SmilinSam

Those two smileing faces on that HB112 are some of the great reasons I got interested in messing with these and the larger AC tractors. My 3 children of 8,5,3 years of age get to have a little fun and get to meet nice, family oriented people who love to share their time and information as well as a few great stories of days gone by. Thanks to all who share their time in this great hobby and may the Lord our God bless each of us and this great country. Thanks, Dave.

My hat goes off to those out of home dealers that sold AC garden equipment. Can see that he knows a good tractor when he sees one. Great that the pride of using them will get handed down to the next generation. They look like they cant wait. Might need another tractor though? Dan

Dan, I'd bet he's gonna need two more..MPH

Hi Dave, I own a AC HB-112 with manual lift. I use my tractor to run a dumping trailer. [A href='http://www.simplicityva.com'][img src='http://www.simplicityva.com/Image012b.JPG'][/a]
