Started mowing for a neighbor when I was ten in 1965 with his original that was a couple years old at the time. Dad had a 65 Bolens we mowed our yard with think it was a husky 600, 6hp well built tractor with shaft driven attachments I believe. Then in about 1969 dad purchased a 105 cub from another neighbor who purchased it new in 68 but passed away about 6 months later. My brother an I cut her grass with it and she paid us a couple bucks and I think dad supplied the gas ! One day she offered to sell it to dad if we kept her grass cut while she lived there. So for the Lew price of 500 $ back in 69 dad got the 105 with deck,snow blower,rototiller,garden plow and cultivator,great machine used it all these years till the X got it in 2006, sill running !
