putterman 4 #1 Posted June 1, 2013 Took this as a basket case. It was literally in boxes of various sizes. Traded an old compound bow for it but it had a bad engine. I rebuilt the engine and it runs true now. Just finished assembly. Waiting on decals and drive belt. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marv 982 #6 Posted June 2, 2013 I really like it. I hope my B80 looks that good when I get it finished. Marvin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
putterman 4 #7 Posted June 2, 2013 Thanks to the net and Youtube for pics and diagrams to find where parts go. I had never seen one of these before and they are a bit different than most other garden tractors. The wiring had been modified and it gave me fits but eventually got it to work.

dbartlett1958 99 #12 Posted June 2, 2013 Putterman, I like the profile picture of the old Simplicity. I had one of those for years and regret letting it go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,410 #13 Posted June 2, 2013 The B-80 is one of the best Wheel Horse tractors made. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
csnyd 10 #14 Posted June 2, 2013 Very nice. Its some kind of challenge to take something that is in pieces and turn it into that. A fine job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
putterman 4 #15 Posted June 2, 2013 The picture of the Simplicity is just like the one I have. It still runs great and is unrestored except for fresh paint. Still has original tires but they are being replaced soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papaglide 542 #16 Posted June 2, 2013 That is a very nice looking tractor. You did a great job! You will like that tractor a lot. I have one and its probably my favorite all round tractor. Well done! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fordiesel69 271 #19 Posted June 3, 2013 Definatly easy on gas when I used mine. Had a 36" rear discharge on it, and even with the gov opened up it still sipped fuel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
