120

Overview
When first introduced in 1966, the 120 was the top garden tractor model Ford offered. With the introduction of the 140 in 1969, the 120 became the middle option ahead of the 100. The 120 was replaced starting in 1972 by the LGT 120 (Open Side) for gear drive and the LGT 125 (Open Side) for hydrostatic transmissions.
