Hi.

My names Mark and I live in North East Ohio.

When I was 10 Dad bought a new 107. By new I mean it was a new tractor.

It's been in the family since.

Got a few stories about this tractor, pulling wheel stands with the tiller installed (hey, I was a dumb kid), I would put chains on her and use it to mud run, cut trails through underbrush, run down and pull saplings ..... Some times I would even cut grass, till gardens or plow snow with her.

And the darned thing keeps running.

On the durability thing, about 15 years ago Mom said she was going to trade in the 107 on a new lawn tractor. Tried talking her out of it but she was dead set on buying something orange. Mom is one of these people who does whatever she wants without regard to logic or reason so I borrowed the 107 and refused to return it. Boy, there is allot to that story ... short of it is Mom finally understood what I was trying to tell her about quality, durability and value the second time the Kohler in her new Husky had to be opened up.

In the last 15 years I think I changed the 241's points. Once. Replaced the trans fan twice.

I'm still using the 107 to mow lawn and clear lots, except I now pull saplings and large brush and put them on a burn pile instead of simply running them down and mulching them with the mower deck.

I should also mention that before Dad bought the 107 he and Grandpa had a Farmall Cub. Uncle Harry had a M and H. Dad worked for Rish Equipment (Hough Payline dealer back in the day). Could say I was born and raised IH.
