Visiting from N. Indiana. Just bought a 92 Simplicity Landlord DLX w/a 16 hp Vanguard engine. Has the 3 bag catch system as well. I paid 790.00 for it w/880 hours. They were asking 875.00. People I have talked to familiar w/this unit say I got a good deal..... I hope so.
Everything works as it should. I wanted to remove the bagger system during the summer, but as I see the setup, it looks to have a secondary mulching system attacted the the main chute on the top. Pulleys exist under the attachment to the mower. At least it takes a while to fill the bags up.
I will post to the specific forums for other questions and comments as I get into this tractor a little more. One question I have though has to do with the hydro system.
I lifted the seat and saw an expansion resovoir. I read that no oil gets poured into the resovoir. So I got under the back end of the tractor and cleaned the mud off the clear tube leading from the bottom of the resovoir to the trans. To the left of the tube is a fill plug ( yellow). The cap to the expansion tank says to use 10W30 and to "fill at tube." Is it telling me to fill the unit where the small yellow cap is on the back, or do I physically remove the tube and fill the tube to the indicated level? The latter seems more difficult, unless I remove it to avoid air pockets when filling at the yellow cap. The tractor was sold as is, so no service was performed on it. It was just looked over. Previous owner as far as I can tell, took pretty good care of it. I'll post pics down the road. Thanks! Oh btw, anybody know where I can get some Simplicity orange paint cheap?
