nice find. . the landlords are great machines. are you planning on keeping it ?. yours is a year 1965-66 and it should have a 10hp briggs on it.what eles are you wanting to know ?. if you can get a pic up, ill be able to see if it has any extra goodys hiding on it. i can also email you a owners manual if needed.

Those simplicity's also have a funky exterior differential that gives it a limited slip action on the rear end. I had an old Soverign that was hydro and I had to replace the diff gears on it. That tractor sure was built well. The only thing about it was, it was not an easy and open design like the Wheel Horse.
