Owning a # 109, #122, & recently purchased a #127 I'm sorta hooked on these yellow contraptions. Just love the quality in these older Cadets comparing them to the cheap ones you can buy today.
When I brought home my 1st. # 109 my wife was just aghast in my choice.
She commented that when I cut grass, to cut in the dark so our neighbors don't see it. Well in a slow mode I'm restoring it. Not to a museum quality but to a presentable favor for my wife's eyes.Then 6 months later I found a #122 sitting in a drive way close to the house & it came home with me. Now my wife thinks my mental capacity is on a downhill slope. My # 122 has been my work- horse in cutting my grass (1acre) pulling a cart around etc., for 2seasons now.
Just a few months back I saw a#127 sitting in a yard & I couldn't help myself.
So as an end result I'm totally in favor of my #127, & # 109 & 3 is just wayyyyyyyyyyyy to much.
When my # 109 gets back in running order with my snow thrower attached, & my # 127 (came witha blade attached) I'm sticking with thos 2 & gonna sell my # 122. 
It's not that I can really add that much to this forum cause I need all the help I can get. But really enjoy browsing around trying to absorb what ever I can.
Nik,
