The 1987 Simplicity SunRunner rear-wheel-turn lawn tractor

[@Soccernick7]

My dad has had one of these since '90, and we just had to repair it for the first time. Still runs like a dream and is in great condition.

[@DannysCam]

that machine is magical it will haunt my dreams from now on

[@christianfliegner1519]

Sorry my english is not so good. The SunRunner is a very good mower, wow. I love it., when i see it in a video. I havent it no. Best regards from germany.

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

I parted a Duetz version of one of those about 7 or so years ago. I still have the rear axle and the front frame with casters that the deck hung from. The cables for the rear steer wear out and are expensive to replace if you can still buy them. Later versions had an improved steering system. There were variations of them with larger engines, decks, wheels and tires and some with hydrostatic drive.

[@deweydunn301]

have the same mower. cuts great! found it behind a barn, little work and it ran great.

[@chupacabbra5606]

i have one of these.its easy to drive,first off don't take off in 5th gear at full throttle.i leave mine in third and mow an acre in about 20 minutes and half is hilly.

[@williamajthompson9166]

I am looking at one of these or a Bolens estate keeper/greens keeper. Looks like it can keep pace well with a Zero turn as they steer more like a combine or swather. Which is great for tight turns and lawn mowing.

[@SH00T_TH3PUMP]

It wont break the chain driven axle in 5th gear if you release the clutch pedal slowly. Dumping it, has only made the wheels spin alittle on grass with ours! ☺

[@SH00T_TH3PUMP]

Double gas tanks is factory with a mechanical fuel pump. We dont even need the choke to start ours. It's a fabulous machine! There should be pulley covers on the cutting deck. Ours has the battery in front of the motor on that open section next to the transmission.

[@jakebednarski7549]

that thing is sweet!!

[@matts6887]

Looks like a pretty cool little mower there!!!l; u dont see too many with rear-wheel steering like that...pretty cool!!! :)

[@AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Pretty neat!! Never saw anything like it.

[@mercedesfan650]

I love these eccentric little tractors. I'm trying to find a Bolens EK right now, they're similar to this style Simplicity except they are articulating and the engine is in the back.

[@christophermcguire3499]

Any chance you could take pictures of the drive belt and linkage just bought one today. And reverse is drive and drive is reverse and it's faster in reverse then drive

[@tomknud]

A mini dump truck! pretty cool

[@Bobbymitchell10]

thats close to what i have but mines a 1966 bolens lawn keeper and it swivles in the middle hard to get used to for sure

[@computerboy9766]

You are like the Sabbkyle04 of lawn tractors.

[@chopperhedduck]

I just picked up the Noma park 200e, Built b y Stiga, same as the Bolens. Its a great lttle rarity around here.

[@CoffeeAndAViewdotcom]

I have this in deutz, the guy dropped it off for me, and we will work on it, but this is for my kids to remodel.. I can't find the release pull, so I can push it? I can't read the model number on that manual .. that might help.. Any idea's thanks

[@Ajaces]

Another Eccentric Mower I'd like to potentially have, great find.

[@mannexx111]

WOW what a deal good vid

[@crimson22s]

hey that looks like my toro groundsmaster 322d in a very little version lol my groundsmaster is a 3 cylender diesel with a 72 inch deck that thing will cut my grandmas 2 acre field in about an 1hr and 30min you shuld add one of those to ur collection

[@CSAKvids]

Strange mower.... quite a cool thing to use though!

[@mikeclement2134]

[@tedaregi9861]

i have one of these but my deck belt broke. mine has the 42" deck and im wondering if anyone knows the size of the belt

[@FordF150Trucks]

[@JustinsDIY]

[@matthewmiklesavage2333]

[@Roushfan5]

Nice. Thought you had to shut down

[@modeltrainexpert]

Does the deck come off?

[@jakewind123]

hey, how mch do you want for this thing? i''m thinking abot buying this.

[@McCarronMotorWorks]

Simplicity FTW

[@LOGs502]

I got a 1993 john deere f525 it's a three wheeled vehical and rear wheel steer mowers are not that bad.

[@omnimous69]

I want this

[@russthebus813]

air in the rear tires would help too

[@CorinGatwood]

Hey Lynol! I'm 14 and I love your videos, I would LOVE to buy that SunRunner for my lawn, I have a small lawn (1/6 of an acre) and hard to maneuver my two tractors. And I have a WeedEater just like your "Bucking WeedEater" We could trade or I would be happy to pay for the SunRunner and give you the WeedEater for free. Thanks! Corin.

[@nickwoodruff3321]

Corin Gatwood Why not just buy a new one? I mow 3-5 acres a week for a little cash on the side (waiting to get a drivers license/car so I can get a rear job), and I would run one of my newer mowers over my oldies ANY day just for the fact that its faster (tighter steering radius and most new mowers have hydro trans-axles) and obviously easier to find parts. Now for plowing, pulling, ect its hard to beat my old garden tractors, they are beasts when it comes down to raw power.

[@Roushfan5]

lol Well, be careful on that thing. Looks like its about to flip at any moment. Least you don't have a trial looming over you (referencing Davidsfarm)

[@benpie12]

@LynolsOffice chevey made a 2000 truck modell with optional rear wheel

[@reginadomerese673]

I am in need of something showing me how to put a belt on for this mower I just bought one I love it but needs a belt have no idea how to put one on and also need the belt size and info please help me thanks million RaJeana

[@n3bruce]

I believe it uses a 129 inch belt for the deck, and a separate belt for the hydro unit. It is a pain to replace it, there is an idler underneath that needs to be loosened to replace the belt, best to do it with the mower off. You will probably have to get it from a Simplicity dealer, and because it was a low volume unit, he will probably have to order it. Nice mower, but eventually the rough ground and heavy grass wore it out.

[@garrettf7061]

I have a orange one that is a 1313H agco allis that is fun to drive

[@Yamahunter]

i drive one without a gearbox but whit a hydrostatic clutch, much easyer to drive!

[@TheLego9]

[@jakedowns730]

[@genebeilkeiii8489]

[@jakedowns730]
