Snow Plowing snow with a 40 year old lawn tractor

Glad to see I'm not the only one. Here's a pic

I like the head lights on this tractor.
My 1966 and 1967 Bolens Tractors have the same kind/type.
Better lighting than I get with the lights on the 3 Kubotas.
I have 1 front blade 1 rear tiller and 2 belley mowers for for the old bolens tractors.

had a 1965 cub cadet 100, fine machine, I'd buy one today if they still made them.

I have a 1973 JD 112 with electric lift that is presently setting in my garage. It developed a bad knock in the engine so is waiting for me to take the time to repair the Kohler engine. I bought this second hand in 1983 and installed a new short block as it was purchaed with a similar knock. My teenage boys used it for commercial mowing for several summers so it has had its share of use. It is still a good tractor after 35 years.

I've had a few, I still have a 65' 110. Used to have a few other JD gt's: 318, 400 w/loader,etc...but those are all now sold, that money was what got me my 4110 that i now have.

Here's mine.

With chains, this little guy will plow snow like nobody's business. I think it's pushing 700 lbs with the rear weights.

I also had a 1967 110 with plow blade, mower deck, snowblower, wheel weights, chains, and 8HP motor. Sold it to my buddy when I bought my bigger tractor 5 years ago. He used it until last year when he bought a bigger tractor. The mower deck has since rusted out and he couldn't find a new pan so he just uses it for tooling around the yard. Still running on the original engine which has only had annual oil changes and the occassional new spark plug.

I have said for many years that the 1970s were generally a cultural low-point for many things here in America: fashion, music, cars, TV, & hairstyles to name a few. However, I believe that the 1970s was the Golden Age of Lawn & Garden Equipment.

Many manufacturers made spectacular equipment during that period...truly built to last decades. If I was looking for a "new" mower, I'd would seek out a Deere 140 from the early '70s. Fantastic machine.

Today's lawn & garden equipment is built to a specific service life. That is unfortunate.
