Simplicity 725 BGB Parts Breakdown
The following is a sketch of the BGB from the Simplicity 725.
All Landlord Models BGB Parts Breakdown
The following is a sketch of the BGB for all the Landlord models.
Note: The 496 & 497 codes are for the 2210 tractors and 568 & 569 are for the 3210 Tractors. For part letters; C, H, AC, AE, AG, and AJ these are all different for these tractors.
Comparison of the 3012/B112 BGB to the 725 BGB
The following is a list of the part number different between the B112/3012 and the 725 tractors:
1. Shaft - part C 164114 / 154135
2. Spacer - part D NA / 154136
3. Driver - part P 157426 / 154140
Parts after AG are pulley and the outer plates specific to the various tractor models. Notice that the B112/3012 the left and right plates (AG/AM) are different verse on the 725 the plates are the same (AG) on both sides.
TIPS
Removal of the Drive Shaft Flange is easier if you use 3/8"-16 x 3" bolts to push yoke off. Turn each screw a turn on each side until the flange comes off. Easier than using a puller.
In the photo below, I've used 3/8"-16 x 2" bolts and a couple of pieces of steel for spacers because I didn't have 3/8"-16 x 3" bolts. You will need a 5/16" alan wrench, a 9/16" wrench for the bolts. Some things to have in your tractor kit.
