Hi from N.E. Ohio
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.

Glad to see you here Mark. I too just picked up a family piece of history this week. My grandmothers 128. I mowed with it as a kid too and also did the wheelie thing. lol. I cringe at the thought of that now. Anyway.. I have found there are some great people here with a huge amount of knowledge and information if you need any help with anything. Looking forward to some pics.

Thanks for the welcome,
I have a snow blade adapted from a wide body, and the mower deck. Chains, cables and clevises. The tiller was sold when I was in the service. Never tried pulling a plow with it, wouldn't want to start doing that to her in her advanced years. The hydro still seems to work fine but I've checked price and availability of trans parts and  No reason to tempt fate. I cringe at allot of what I've done. LOL! Pictures? Uhhh .... She's Ugly. I'm about function, oil makes her run longer but paint doesn't make her run better.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
