bought another hydrolift simplicity

[perry 82]

well this makes hydro lift tractor #4. . i think im set for now .

i found this red simplicity listed last week 5 miles from my house. it was listed as not running-no spark. he wanted too much $ for me to spend so i passed. well i decided to call today and see if he still had it and he did. i went to go look at it and was going to offer ALOT less than he was asking. and being so close to home i just had to go a look at it .

when i got there he said its been sitting for 5yrs. the sparkplug was left out and the engine was froze. and the deck is froze, and the engine controls are froze. he did,nt relize it had all these promblems. so i offered WAY less than what i was going to offer in the first place and i brought it home .

come to find out just the generator was froze and all the belts where just frozen on the pullys [8D]. i got the engine to turn over and the hydrolift raised the deck . now i just have to get it running.

nice find, Perry. I seen the CL add and thought the tractor looked really red in the pics. but lookin at your pics, doesn't seem so bad. i seen it was in your neck of the woods and figured u be over there sooner or later.

thanks for the link TT. i have'nt seen that one. someday ill get some more time and $ and actually finish painting some of my tractors.

the front shaft is for a pulley and runs the front implements.

there is a rope start pulley located under the seat on the side of a gear box. i have never tryed to pull start one yet .

got it running good and mowed the lawn .

had to get the JD seat off it and put on a Allis seat i had. also got the rear fenders propped up where they are supposed to go. dont look to bad with the white Allis seat and farmall red paint .

saguaro : ... the yellow ones had the Allis chalmers name on them.

Really? That sounds like a great feature to me. Was it standard equipment or optional?

I'd love to have a rope starter backup on all of my stuff since it seems I am forever swapping/charging batteries amoung my many tractors. If they had rope starters too I think it would eliminate some hassles for me.

i just keep a little battery booster handy. jump start them right off the generator. good thing about a briggs is it does'nt need a battery to run. its just like a big'ol push mower engine .
