Hey Guys:

Can anyone tell me what this tool is and information about. Found this in the barn and I have No Clue...

Thanks,

 

[digger]

Your jokin right?
That's what ya use when your washing machine goes on the fritz! As long as you have a tube to go with it.

 

[rbedell]

Thanks Charlie....But NO...I had No Clue.
I can recall the ole Maytag Gas Engine powered wringers, but never seen that device. You must be a whole lot older than me.....

Anybody know what tractor this is, or was? Don't have the hood or grill and I don't think this is the right engine.

The engine drives direct to this cross shaft with pulleys on either side. The pulley on the left side drives a mower deck if it had one and the pulley on the right side drives the transmission with a belt clutch.

Richard,
That looks like an old Simplicity.

Richard,
That is a Simplicity. I just overhauled the AC here at work (It is a relabled Simplicity)
The box with the "Cross shaft" or right angle gear box is worth a mint as they are NLA.

Bryan has a model 700 version.. Personaly I hate the things, but they mow great!!!

Yep, dat's a Simple-city. Maybe a 725 cuz it doesn't have the oil bath filter? If you can read the B&S model number, I can figure it out for ya.

If anything, part it out and sell the right-angle gearbox - since Simplicity recently dropped the last model to use that gearbox, prices on them have gone way up. Nothing wrong with using a Brand X to pay for Cub parts

 

[stanner]

Around here, there affectionately called "Complexity"'s

is that the model to have the rear discharge deck?

 

[rchristensen]

Anybody know of a web site for these tractors? Maybe one with a For Sale area.

Richard C. -

www.simpletractors.com - there's a link to their "club." Might cost ya to post an ad, I never joined when they made a formal club out of things, so I don't know...

Scott T. -

The deck that came with my 700 was side discharge, not a whole lot changed with the 725 - other than 1/4 horsepower!

I have been wondering for a long time what this bracket is for? I have had my "Original" Cub for more than 30 years and have never had a need for it. Is is a seat travel limiter when doing wheelies? Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,

It's part of a Spring Assist to help ease the arm lifting attachements.

 

[hlinden]

Thanks Digger. When I get my blade finished I might need to get a spring to help lift it.

 

[digger]

I might just have one of those springs layin around that you can have. I'll do some diggin for ya.

 

[hlinden]

Digger,

That would be great!

I could make something but having an original is the best choice. I will be happy to purchase or at least pay for shipping.

Harry
