Greased and changed the oil took the near perfect seat off and stored it, and put a nicer wheel on it, then hooked the Turf Groom 136 to it and went to work. Had to get the front yard cleaned up. That Turf Groom practically de-thatches the lawn. Then I called the tractors, and 8 came running, with 6 no-shows.

People like their bells and whistles until they see the repair bill.
Amen to that. It's not that I dont know how to work on the new stuff, its that I cant afford the proper scan tools. |

Fella's,
I love it that you love your Simplicity tractors.
But if Allis-Chalmers had never been a part of Simplicity and chose to build something else, I'd still be an "Allis-Chalmers" Man.
Some of you like the round hoods. I do not. But that's ok.
Heck, I HATE!!!!! CARS AND TRUCKS!!! I spent 20 years as a Ford Master Tech and it ruined Automobles for me.I look at them and I can only see what's going to break..
So, I keep my 1994 5.8L (351)CID Bronco with over 400,000 miles on it running.

Yup, I do love my BIG TEN, it's one of the 4 tractors I wont part with, However, the only tractors I have that weren't both designed and built by Simplicity is the AC 312 and a Wheel Horse LT1100. And since the Landlord 101/BIG TEN were already in production when Allis bought Simplicity, there is no way you can say a BIG TEN isn't a Simplicity tractor, well... you can say whatever you want.  |

Well, thats Simplicity's 74 lineup. Starting from the right, I will not have a sheep competing for BEST mower, Next is a 3416H Sovereign, My main ride, then the next could be a Landlord 3410S, which I have, then looks like a 5008 Broadmoor, which I have, and one of the rest could be a 637 Yeoman, which I have.... Whers that sheep? Baaa aahh ahh :) |

No,no, no. That might be right for you, but for me it would be "Hi, my name is larry and I am addicted to Simplicity garden tractors."

Buy a couple of 9020's or 620~720 Allis' to use as the ENGINES.
Hook all the rest to them, Advertise a Kiddie ride and charge a small fee for the Kids to be pulled around the yard!!!
That might work, but I was thinking I should petition the state to declare the collection an National Historic Treasure, and then the FED would build a 5,000 square foot museum and staff it with 20 maintenance technicions and curators. |
