Simplicity 7790 Diesel tractor. No attachments.
Pickup in Alton, IL (near St Louis, MO).
This has an 18-hp, twin inline cylinder, air-cooled, Lombardini diesel engine.
I think it’s a 1985 model. Hydro with hydraulic lift. Meter shows 727 hours. Your guess is as good as mine if this is true.
The bad: needs a battery. One rear wheel is rusted pretty badly around the valve stem. Muffler is not original. Ignition switch is screwed up so starter solenoid needs to be jumped to start. It’s old, so has bumps and bruises and some rust. Dirty. Is due for all preventative maintenance.
The good: starts easy, runs great. Tires hold air for long periods. Rears are filled for weight. We can jump it and you can drive it on your trailer.
Simplicity and Allis guys go nuts for these. They were $6000 when new. 😳
These engines smoke and are loud. It’s the way they are. I like to start it just to listen to it run. They are truly awesome. Would be a great repower for a C195.
It’s running in the pix.
I suspect I will regret selling this as it has been the most reliable machine in the shed for years. we use it to move trailers and pull carts, aerators, etc. it’s been a go-to machine.
Open to offers, but not interested in trades.
