The Ford 100, 120, 125, and 145 Lawn Tractors are vintage garden tractors designed for homeowners seeking reliable mowing and light-duty yard work performance. Built during the late 1960s through the early 1970s, these models are equipped with Kohler single-cylinder gasoline engines delivering between 10 and 14 horsepower, depending on the variant. Compact yet sturdy, the series combines rugged frames, gear-drive transmissions, and simple 12-volt electrical systems to ensure durability and dependable operation.

The Ford 100, produced from 1966 to 1971, features a 10 hp Kohler engine, 4-speed gear transmission, and a wheelbase of 42 inches, weighing around 636 lbs. The 120 and 125 models offer higher horsepower ratings and incremental improvements in durability and attachments, while the 145 steps up to a larger displacement engine producing around 14 hp for heavier residential tasks. Standard tire sizes, a 1.25-gallon fuel tank, and manual steering make these tractors easy to operate and maintain, while compatibility with mower decks, blades, and snowblowers increases their year-round versatility.

The comprehensive repair manual provides detailed service coverage for these models, including maintenance and adjustments, Hydrogear description, operating procedures, startup guidelines, repair instructions, testing and checking procedures, troubleshooting, and full specifications. Illustrated diagrams, wiring details, lubrication information, and adjustment charts guide technicians and owners through both routine servicing and major repairs, ensuring long-term reliability of these classic lawn tractors.
