The 111 only had one deck available, a 38 inch deck, AM105404. If it's a hydro 111 (111H) that deck required a retro kit, AM`03854, to make it fit on the tractor.
The PC1669 for the 111 mower shows both a 30 inch and a 38 inch deck version... The 70 tractor had a horizontal crankshaft where as the 111 had a vertical shaft, so decks may be quite different.
The PC also includes the 108, which took a 30 inch deck. The 111 and 111H only took the 38 inch deck. Depending on tire size, both front and rear, also depicted what size deck would work. For instance, this series included the 116 which took both the 38 and 46 inch decks, but the 38 inch deck had a smaller diameter tire on the rear than a 116 that had the 46 inch deck. Now, can you fit a 30 inch deck onto a 111? Maybe.
Its actually a pretty clean little mower, just pretty cheaply made, and I’m not very impressed with how it mows. I’m only planning on keeping the deck with belts, and the Briggs engine. I rebuilt the transmission several years ago.
Guys! This is all very valuable....thank you! Especially since I have a "new-to-me" 111!
