Does anyone out there have a repairable Simplicity VC walk behind tractor..These walk behinds had a 3 speed transmission and a hi-low in the right axle assembly, 7 horsepower Briggs engine ..I got the "old dudes" Gravely tractor back to him and it got buried in his back yard..I had pull it back out with my 4X4 silverado..What a P.O.S. this Gravely is ...No ground clearance , bottomed right out..He uses it to mow and haul light loads of firewood..The Simplicity has tall tires on it and won't get buried like the Gravely..Gotta be NE Ohio or NW Penn ..Oh , did I mention , reasonable price??

Nope , Thats not me in the literature , but , I do wear suspenders..It's the only way I can keep up my "Gaberdine Cundrums".. My belly has a tendency to overpower my belt ..By the way, Just what the heck you doin' with 200 walk behinds?? I only need one..The 7 horse one I would like is in about the 1960 era..with the hi-lo on the right handle bar

My dad's got one or two I think, but we're in Northern Illinois. We tend to lean towards the David Bradleys. He's got a half-dozen or so...just wish he'd do something with em!

I've got piles of them - but I'm in central New York. The Simplicity - also sold as Montgomery Ward "Plow Trac" - are very common - when it comes to walk-behind tractors. I pass many up in the $50 price range - simply because I have over 200 walk-behind tractors as it is. I only tend to buy tractors now that I don't alreay have.

And, I've seem many for sale recently in PA and Ohio.

But the horsepower you mention - I've never seen one like that. My biggest, Model 1956 VA Simplicities have 5 horse Briggs - but they are big - same footprint as later Briggs 8 horse engines. Trans. has three speeds forward, one reverse, and 6X12" tires. They are good, heavy, and pretty rugged - but dwarfed by walk-behinds like my 1938 Sears Handiman. It is a monster and weighs twice what a Simplicity does.
