So to fuel my addiction...

I picked up a Simplicity Sunrunner for $20 on CL.

12HP Briggs and its a hydro drive. Complete with deck, however i plan on removing it and making this a sweet yard/trail tractor! Cant beat the dump bed and ability to see some AG's up front throwing some mud

I'll keep up with updates, I just thought it was so cool I couldnt pass it up!!

20 Dollars wow that would be a great utility tractor.

looks sweet would make a good utility tractor

Theres one of those simplicitys in my junkyard. Pretty cool, single cyl and 700, 5 speed. Cable shifter setup on the dash, right? chain down to a peerless 100 series axle. I already removed and sold the 700

I've got something sort of like that pic thatoneteen posted but you steer with levers instead of a steering wheel. Like a zero turn deal I guess, but I think older than the one in that picture. The one we've got has a heavy looking opposed twin on it (cast iron?). If I remember correctly , it's hydro drive.

thatoneteen i would get that thing, looks like a onan opposed.

moved my stuff to a new thread

Redline, mine is actually a 12hp BS with a Hydro unit in it. Its got a chain drive off the hydro pump down to a straight axle with a gear on it for the chain (No need to lock this one!). Seems to be a very simple setup. I will be removing the deck on mine because its pretty thrashed.

Definitley excited to make a sweet little yard/utility machine with this. As we all know here, its impossible to keep any machine in factory form!!

BTW does anyone have any experience with these machines? its been raining and sleeting crazy here, plus working 6 days a week gives me little to no time to work on it right now (Gotta love the wood/pellet stove business).

Just wanna see what you guys have to say about it. Thanks in advance!!
