Welcome to Simple trACtors, the largest garden tractor site on the Internet. This award-winning site isdedicated to preserving and maintaining old Simplicity and Allis-Chalmers garden tractors -- and to you, their loyal owners.Started on December 15, 1998, this is also one of the oldest and most successful tractor sites. The site is largely member supported and without your help and enthusiasm, it simply wouldn't exist!
So, strap on yourCarhartt bib overalls, get your tractors ready for the season, and enjoy all the information available on Simple trACtors!
NOTE: We don't sell these old tractors, implements or parts. Instead, we're an information source that focuses on primarily 1985 and older models. You'll find over 1,500 pages of reference information here, including old sales brochures for tractors and implements, product specifications, old price lists, cross-reference information, and much more. We've identified many sources for parts and information, including several sources for hard-to-find restoration parts such as seats or decals.
We also provide hosting, site maintenance and support for the independent Simplicity and Allis-Chalmers Garden Tractor Club that we began over seven years ago. Now an independent, formal non-profit organization, with members world-wide, the club is visited by hundreds of people each day. Click the logo at the left to visit the Clubhouse (or the small icon on the top of every page). Explore the discussion forums and other features available to club members. Better yet, join us and "ask the experts!" |
