Added a orange one

[ACman 7,618]

Finally received my Simplicity yesterday, and I have to say it's a nice clean example. The engine is not original and there's definitely something broke. Took it to the local dealer to run the serial # . Without the original engine it's hard to determine the year . He went back and forth between some manuals , and he's pretty sure it's a 63 . He may have a engine , but at his pace that might be year . So the hunt is on . This picture was taken before it was loaded up , with the 1919 gas pump behind it . More pics tomorrow , as it's still in my cousins work van .

      With that safety sticker on it I would guess it is a bit newer than '63.

My Broadmoor was around a 1970.  The seat is incorrect.

Nothing wrong with a little "off brand" in the herd every once in a while. I really miss this Allis Chalmers,. It ran fantastic, cut grass superbly and when you locked the rear diff it would push as much snow as ALMOST any Wheel Horse I've owned.. I owned this orange one at the time also and I liked it as well. My brother has the identical tractor as yours or at least very similar.

I've wanted one for years and just haven't found one locally.
