1958-1970 Simplicity, Allis-Chalmers and MW Squire Service Tips

[@mr1pearl]

I like that tractor man , have to get ready for work will watch in the morning ! ( graveyard shift blah )

[@BrucesShop]

I am happy you lift the opposite side of the tractor to drain the oil I do that. I wished he newer machines had drain plugs (my 36 year old JD it is newer LOL). I had not thought to reface the set screws Thanks a lot sir.

[@butler386]

Ahh this brings back some memories from yesteryear. Pico-Pay toothpaste and Brylcream comes to mind along with Burma Shave. A little dab will do ya. Very cool tractor for sure. Thanks for the video.

[@jme36053]

I don’t own a Simplicity however, your discussion on oiling and lubricating can be applied to any garden or lawn tractor, or for that matter, to any small engine-driven implement. Always good to know!

[@skippyjones4195]

Love those TIRES 👍

[@ZippoVarga]

These particular tires are no longer available unfortunately. Best advice I can offer is to search for 26x12x12 turf tires and you'll also need 12x10" wheels or 12x12" wheels with the proper backspacing for your application. These tires are mounted to 12x10" rims which gives the tire more of a crown than the 12x12" rims would. So choose carefully when shopping. Good luck Skippy! Zip~

Popped r Coffee on, while I viewed the "goings over"! Looks like another dry day in the 70s here in SE PA. Tme to crank up the $50 "weed eater" mower, until the 42H is running! I set my PMPS kit aside, Hope the family did not hide it on me,HA!

[@Turningwrenches85]

Good service tips there zip . hope all is well there

[@skippyjones4195]

Awesome video such great information thank you 🙏🏻

[@ZippoVarga]

You bet Skippy! Zip~

[@garryludwick2990]

Great vid. Keeping it for future owner. Thanks for all the info. Now to get on the 2 wards machines and the syclebar mower

[@arciefan]

Excellent tutorial on lubing on either non detergent or detergent tractors. I am so guilty of not lubing but plan to do better and go over mine. And I will definitely be revisiting the poor man's power steering video. You forgot to post the link but no big deal I can find it with search on your home page. Thanks Zip!

[@ZippoVarga]

Thanks for the reminder my Friend! Links are now posted in the description. I'm guilty of some neglect with my own equipment. Thing is.......ask any mechanic if their stuff needs attention. They'll all say Yep! lol Cheers Arcie! Zip~

[@seanh6578]

So what should I do at the pivot points again?? I didn't catch it..... 😉😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 😁😁😁😁 I had to stop about 2/3rds of the way through to comment, as you were commenting to yourself about repeating it. 😁 Great video as always Sean! I hope your back is feeling better, I like seeing the shop and projects. But your health should always be first, we'll gladly wait when you need to rest. I know I owe you a few emails, chatting about current life. I sent a couple a long while back, but I think I hit an old email address or they were lost in transit. Life for me has been crazy busy, but I always enjoy the videos. I know I have seen similar Simplicity general maintenance videos from you before, I believe one of my favs was a buyer's guide 3ish part series, but I always enjoy the newer videos too, even if the subject is a repeat. The video qualify improves. 👍 Cheers Sean Now back to the video.

[@skippyjones4195]

Hey Zippo great video I have a Question do you know where I can get a original seat for my 1966 landlord Thank you 👍❤️✌️

[@greenmule4634]

Very good one Zippo, you went over it very well, Iam a grease and oil all points Guy also, going to get the gear oil you talked about also and thanks for the video

[@ZippoVarga]

Right on Mr. Mule! There's a very noticeable difference in ease of shifting and things just run quieter too. Cheers my Friend! Zip~

[@straightpipec6099]

This is the gold standard. Variable speed belt adjustment would be an idea for a future video. Thanks Zippo.

[@ZippoVarga]

Argh Sir Pipe! Sadly, my Variable tractor is no longer at the ranch! But if you email me I'll send you the manual that outlines how to perform the task. So sorry my Friend! Zip~

[@straightpipec6099]

@@ZippoVarga I thought about that after I commented. I’ll look and see if I have a manual with that. If not I’ll let you know. Thanks Zippo

[@skyview13]

Hi Sir. love your videos. i have a simplicity 3212v. would you know what model snowthrower i can use. thanks. keep the videos coming

[@JRCreations92]

I just picked up a 66 B-12, it came with hydro lift, does the hydro lift control the height of the mower deck also? I noticed it doesn’t have a deck lever like a regular mower

[@ZippoVarga]

Yes, that's correct.

[@scottlanders3812]

Do these simplicity run a positive ground. I ask because my starter gear doesn't engage unless it's positive to ground

[@ZippoVarga]

No, they are negative ground Scott. Zip~

[@williamwilliams3200]

Behind the back left wheel is a clutch that runs the mower , but I can’t find any adjustments. The mower blades don’t turn fully. The clutch is not turning full force.

[@ZippoVarga]

What is the tractor you're talking about William

[@cajuncoinhunter]

I am on the lookout for a older Simplicity like we used to sell in the late 70's and early 80's, Built like a tank......

[@ZippoVarga]

Heya Boo. Check your email my Friend. Zip~

[@garryludwick2990]

Me , Texas here

[@garryludwick2990]

Got a couple, 2 wards, suburbans, and a MTD, CONTACT ,

[@garryludwick2990]

Zippo has my info

[@JRCreations92]

I have a guy selling a landlord 2012 no motor or deck wants $250

[@samuelhigh3572]

Hey Zippo, where do you get those nice chunky triple rib tires? I got some on my Landlord that are kind of wimpy. :/

[@ZippoVarga]

millertire.com Samuel. They're Firestone 16x6.5x8

[@samuelhigh3572]

Thanks Zippo!

[@minerfarmer]

I have learned a lot from your videos. I have a B12 that smokes and uses oil. Cylinder looks good. Would like to put .010 over rings in it and set ring gap but can't find any. Do you know of a source for parts for 12 hp briggs. Watched your video of sandblasted 12 hp rebuild but could only find one episode.

[@ZippoVarga]

A good engine machine shop can help you source rings miner. Be sure to hone the cylinder and don't get Chrome rings no matter who suggests them. They won't bed properly because they're much harder than the cast iron

[@minerfarmer]

Thank you. I have a local parts store with a machine shop. I will check with them.

[@williamwilliams3200]

The second tractor you showed, is the pto clutch adjustable? Thanks so much.

[@ZippoVarga]

I'm a bit confused with your question William. By PTO Clutch, do you mean the mid mount PTO? If so, there's no clutch involved there. It's all mechanical with pulleys and an idler pulley that engages the implement when the lever is depressed. Can you be more specific? Zip~

[@williamwilliams3200]

I think I should have replied here. There is a clutch behind the back left wheel. It powers the mower blades,but doesn’t spin blades fully.

[@ZippoVarga]

@@williamwilliams3200 My email is in the description below the video. Email me with photos of what you're talking about please. There is a rear PTO, but it's for running rear mounted implements like a tiller or a generator. Zip~

[@jeffreyjohn2037]

Those tri-rib front skins are brand new

[@paulg444]

Hes the best .. but honestly, I think his front tires are worth more than my Allis Chalmers tractor !!!

[@deandepew5183]

My cast iron 16 hp engines have a dip stick i fill to full mark
