I acquired an AC B-110 about a year ago from the neighbor's estate.  It is well used, but I got it running without much trouble.  It is not running well, though.  It smokes and backfires when it is cold.  I need to go through the carb and pull the head to check the bore and valves.

 

I agree that the Wheel Horses are much easier to work on.  So far, the bevel gear box and transmission on the B-110 are behaving.  The differential is set a bit tight, though - the front tires tend to get driven sideways in a tight turn.  It just about refuses to turn on pavement when they are at full lock.

WHX??

I know where to get the seat & arm rest covers if you need. Buddy of @Achto and mine has a real nice all original B-10.

He had a table at a show and it looked like nice stuff. Had a complete set on display. I think they are covers that you put over your foam. Check with him. He wasn't real pricey either.

Got a little farther today,  the accessory drive pulley must have been on since the beginning of time.  It took a puller a 2ft breaker bar and a 3ft crow bar to get it off it sounded like a gun shoot when it finally decided to move.  Looks like the the tractor has been repainted at some point in its life.  Also I’m pretty sure it had an engine change at somepoint also.  It took a lot of heat and a large pipe wrench with a cheater bar to get the exhaust off.  All things considered with a 60yr old tractor she is in pretty good shape.
