Quick question, are the footrests on my 67 110 supposed to be welded to the frame?

 

[ed_lincoln]

Yep they are welded. Makes it tougher to roll around in my sand blast cabinet.

 

[twofitu]

So...do I cut them off to restore them or what? This is my first try at a restoration. I will be asking a lot of questions.

 

[ed_lincoln]

Unless they have some serious rust I would not cut them off. I have torn down and sand blasted every part of 3 rf tractors. 67 112 frame.

 

[twofitu]

Thanks. I'm still in the tear down stage so when I get to the bare frame I'll probably need some help with the right way to repair the footrests.

 

[twofitu]

I can see I need to start taking more pictures

 

[smalljob]

James when you say repair,,,, what is the problem with them? Is it just pitting?

 

[twofitu]

I'll take some pictures so you can see. There are places where they are completely rusted through. I got this from behind a friend's garage, it was sinking in the mud and the mower deck is completely shot. I am amazed the tractor is in the shape it is.

I would put a add on Wfm for another 67 frame. Or if the rest of the frame is solid, grind the welds and take the footrests off and I could send a set of 66 110 footrest for just the shipping. The flanges on 65-66 foot rest are a little wider but could be ground down and welded on the 67.

As I take the tractor down I'll check the rest of the frame and get back to you. Thanks for the offer.

Just curious... but what are the other holes in the footrest for? 3 forward and one to the rear

The vertical two in the front in the picture are for mower deck mounts. The bigger one where the bend is is to let water out. I will remember the other two later but they a serve a purpose. Roger

[herg]

thank you!

The two vertical holes on the upper part of the foot rests are used for mounting the front cab supports. As Rodger stated, the vertical holes just above the round drain holes are for mounting the mower deck hangers.
