When I was just out of college in 1976, my dad needed a new lawn mower. We had used several POS's that I used to keep the lawn mowed. We also had a '53 Ferguson tractor that I mowed and baled our farm with. One of my friends had a hardtop that I needed for my '68 Corvette, so we went from SW VA to Manassas, VA, to check out the hardtop. In the barn was setting a used Model 100. We liked it, but it would not start. We decided to take it anyway, and so the 100 came home with us.

My dad and mom mowed the lawn with it for several years. My dad passed away in '81, so my mom mowed the lawn for several years until the mower turned over on her on a very steep side yard in '91 (she broke both arms, both shoulder blades, a collarbone and 8 ribs). Ok now, she is one very tough lady! I convinced her t hat her mowing days were over and we hired a company to mow the yard. I took the mower to my house just to keep her off it Used it since then to mow my yard. Moved back to my mom's house to help her out in 1999, brought the 100 with me, and have used the 100 ever since. So I have been on it about 22 years.
