Damn Craigslist...

Two Simplicity tractors, both 16 hp Briggs, one with motor-generator and gear shift, the other with an automotive-style starter and hydro.

Two mowers, a 5' sickle and a midmount. Spare bar and sickle.

3 snow blowers, one tractor mounted, one walk behind, one corded POS that's basically an electric broom.

One old-enough-to-be-real Troybilt tiller.

One Honda-powered pressure washer.

About two feet of factory manuals for the Simplicity stuff.

Two boxes of spare parts and some other assorted - but related - junk.

250 mile round trip, $100 worth of gas (DAMN that F250 is thirsty!) and one day shot in the ass.

The plan is to get the hydro tractor running and mount the sicklebar on it. The whole plan was something to mow ditches with. I'll also keep the Troybilt. Everything else will get flipped or given to family.

I used to mess around with those Simplicitys and their Allis-Chalmers equivalents when I was a kid. They have a cult following and are well-built little tractors.
