meadowfield 2,545 #2 Posted April 22, 2014 Hello again Find the ID plate engine will be a 252707 Briggs and Stratton 11hp. Rear axles can be found, the peerless 3 speed is easier to locate than the foote 6 speed. Body panels need saving usually, though are interchangeable. If you want to end money then they can be bought on that auction site. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwtaylor 1 #3 Posted April 22, 2014 Only one I managed to get of the plate today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,545 #4 Posted April 22, 2014 That's the dealer/importer plate, which we can date it by. There's another plate 1.5" x 3/4" which will have serial and model no. It's usually stuck to the chassis down by the engine I think on b series. It will possibly be a 92-11BF01, but that's a guess until you find it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwtaylor 1 #5 Posted April 22, 2014 Ahh ok I'll have a good look around it tomorrow and take pictures Google doesn't bring any decent pictures of my model to look reference from as I can't even tell if it's missing parts or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,545 #6 Posted April 22, 2014 Have a look at my sites at the bottom of this message. We've restored a few so there are a few pics, 4 and 6 look the same with the exception of stickers and the high low selector. http://www.wheel-horse.co.uk/b111.htm http://www.restorationdecals.co.uk/b111gallery.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,545 #9 Posted April 23, 2014 thanks, the 91 at the end signifies a Belgium build in the Amnor factory. Looks a bit rusty what the rear axle look like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwtaylor 1 #10 Posted April 23, 2014 Yea recon it can be salvaged or is it for the scrap yard in the sky? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,545 #11 Posted April 23, 2014 I think it's salvageable, might need a new rear fender though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,398 #12 Posted April 23, 2014 Welcome to Redsquare, It is certainly salvagable , seen alot worse. If you do deside to salvage her then i would keep a close eye on the bay of E as the B111 comes up for sale quite often and you can often get one for not alot of money & use it for a parts tractor . You will probabley end up buying another tractor anyway, like most people on here own more than one tractor , but beware its very addictive . Good luck with your project & if you do need any advise like Mark has said you have come to the right place . Look forward to having you around & watching your progress . & take lots of photos of your restoration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gwtaylor 1 #22 Posted April 23, 2014 Red earth is this the system known as positive earthed or has somebody been playing? Is it a 12 or 6v these run on?

meadowfield 2,545 #23 Posted April 23, 2014 they are 12V -ve earth ! Charge is from a stator winding under the flywheel. Peerless are a transmission manufacturer - as are Foote (which is what yours is) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
