Finally brought home the B207 I bought last Dec. This is my first small frame FDT. I have the deck as well but no other attachments. Dave

Hey Dave, Nice. I call it a pivot or swivel too. Most call them articulated but I consider articulated to be a hinged system used for steering

The B-207 feel a lot like a Landlord 101/B-10, but dont turn any where near as tight.

Of Course I like the color scheme of the late B-207E

Very cool Dave! I just picked up my first 'lil one this past week, and have some work to do to familiarise myself with their inner workings, and find out what I'm missing. It's always been a toss up for me as far as what my favtoire little machine is...either the early round hoods, or the yellow Allis' with the 110/112 hodd style and armrest seat like what you have there.

Josh; the yellow is a no brainer for me. Getting this one reduces my want list to B208 B110 B210 B212 and B12 to have a full set of at least one variation of all the yellow tractors. Tyler; yes the axle is solid mounted and the tractor pivots just ahead of the seat. Larry; that thing looks like a Dinky toy with you in the seat. LOL Dave

Oh c'mon Swede, I'm up to four here, they just keep sneeking in!
Maybe you need to stop by again.

That is one fine looker Dave. They are a trip to drive, and do a fine job of mowing.

Since we're talkin pivot machines...at what price would a decent lookin Yeoman (runs and mows, non-original engine, nice deck) get you in the truck with cash in hand? Serfs seem impossible to track down around here.

Serfs are nonexistant here, never had one, never had a chance at one. Cute little buggers, but no tiller without a tranny change. I'm a sucker for dirt tillin'.

There was a very nice, running Serf at one of the local spring mud sales near me a few weeks ago. In general, the L&G tractor prices were pretty high at this sale and the Serf only brought $60. I would have gone to $50 but the wife would've been upset if I brought home another tractor. The only thing I'm allowed to buy at this point is a Panzer.
