Chris689 64 #1 Posted 3 hours ago Last year I purchased this Simplicity 5212 for $40. Someone swapped in a 18HP Briggs. Came with 4 different mower decks and only the 36” was in good shape to actually use. The others were either rotted, seized or both. Would only run half choked and battery wouldn’t charge. I replaced the chinesium carb with and oem carb and it ran perfect. Then swapped out the regulator and the charging system came back around. Then I found out Allis owned and sold Simplicity in 83. This tractor is an 87 but I decided I wanted to make a replica. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The decals are repops for the 616 so the project came around almost perfect lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
