I ended up buying a 108 yesterday. Its a little dirty, but overall looks like it was stored inside (no rust) and runs strong. Its ready to mow the lawn as it sits. For $350 i couldnt pass it up. Yellow fever has started, even my dad commented "they dont build 'em like that anymore". Thanks again to everyone that replied to my post and welcomed me.
. Ill post pics soon. Im going out to play with my new toy..
