Congratulations, it's a big thing, I know.

You're completely right, it always feels really good to hear it fire up again!

Honestly I was more scared about it NOT firing up, especially since I was recording it! I guess worst thing that could've happened would've been bad gas or corroded points, but still, she usually always fires right up. Didn't let me down tonight though.

And, its cool to remember that this is the tractor that started it all for me. Without this 107 I wouldn't be "Cubcadet_107" now would I!

Interesting side note, the overhang where she currently resides, I actually constructed 2 years ago for the sole purpose of storing the 107. At that time, I definitely didn't think I'd have 4 Cubs that need a place to stay!
