that is or was quite a tractor,I'm a JD poor man collector but but have much respect for these simplicity's my brother has a '97 landlord he's been playing with and has it running like a top. I like these older ones though. thanks for sharing
Early 90’s I worked for a Doctor who had the Duetz Allis green version of that tractor. He told me to go as fast as possible mowing the lawn, so I did since it was his tractor and not mine. The engine blew around 200 hours and it was replaced at the dealer under warranty. Engine all done they were loading up the tractor for delivery and the hydrostatic transaxle blew. Then it was replaced under warranty. I told the doctor I probably shouldn’t push the tractor as hard and he was hesitant to heed my advice. He worked a lot and had a nice rural property. Eventually I moved on just doing lawns with my own equipment.
I wish they sold these for normal house holds. I don't need a full sized 20k john deere or kubota farm tractor. Just a smaller garden tractor with a small front loader to move a little dirt around lol
What is something like this worth these days. Id love a true garden tractor with a loader. Handy for projects.... a post hole digger attachment would be nice too.
Sweet, needs a log splitter attachment that you can put on in place of the bucket. Drive up to a block, clamp onto it with the splitter, pull up to a stack and put on the squeeze.
I got a older simplicity 20gth with the snow blower and mower deck. Only problem I'm having is gets really hot while mower grass and vapor locks the fuel pump . Any suggestions on how to fix that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Running the hydraulic pump off of the front PTO is an understandable setup given the limitations of the tractor but it's too bad it couldn't run all the time. Nice setup, that's probably a good one to use in tandem with your 420.
I just got a simplicity landlord 7012 today it doesn't run but it is hydrostatic and has a tiller that is belt driven and has a mower deck witch is also belt driven the back tire needs replacing and i need ass protection :P
sunstrand is the name of the tranny. I've got a deutz allis, same machine with the 18 hp kohler john deere had used the same tranny in some of their machines
At first i thought it looked just like run of the mill lawn tractor i like how its all shaft drive id bet if you weight the hell out of it she can do stuf and it not stupid expensive like a mini kabota or all theas mini tractors home owners get talked into their nice and well built but to small my nabor hade one and we couldent even fit wheel barow load of wood in bucket and wasent hevey enough to push with the bucke inless it was lose flufy stuff and the bachoe was ok but only post holes and realy small stuff it is cool just not 20,000 cool even snow it had hard time moving even chaind up we weighted it and it was use able but yup any home owner who needs trackor i always tell them rent a mini first to try or go with around 35/35 hp
I have a 917 with kohler kt17 and the starter needs work. I can't see any way to get at the starter without removing the engine. Is there a way to do it? thanks
+Titliest07 not just the tranny but all over performance of the tractor. I might be getting one tomorrow and wanted to know what you think. you have years of experience
Some people i would of let the owner have them and probly would of just gave them to u glade they where going to be used for what they was made for unless i was using them on my stuff already i actully had a friend lose all his kids out door toys kinda because he took to long to get them but still my friend sold his house asked if it was ok to leave kids play stuff tell spring new ower come spring sead no they cant have them now it was her kids did get atacked to the stuff
