Hi-Lo's

[Chris727]

I looked at a B-12 tonight, and noticed it had the Hi-Lo sticker on the fender but the Hi-Lo unit was removed. I had seen another B-12 with the Hi-Lo sticker but again no sign of having the Hi-Lo unit on the tractor. What I am wondering is was there a problem with the Hi-Lo's that for some reason many of them were removed and trashed? I don't know why anyone would want to get rid of that feature on their tractor, these two tractors were not parts machines so I don't think they were robbed as spare parts. When I asked the owner about it he said he didn't know anything about it. Thanks. Chris

My B-10 had the Hi-Lo decal on it from the factory but as far as I know it never had a Hi-Lo setup on it...

The majoraty of the tractors came from the factory with the decal on them and I would say the dealer put most of the HI-LOs on at the dealership,Matt

I belive they came that way..Every single Simplicity/AC round hood tractor I have seen had the HI/LO decal...One of the new old stock HI/LO's I had came with a fabric/berlap bag with the smaller parts in it such as the pivots,shifter nob, mounting hardware and the decal..I always wondered why it came with that decal cause I thought it was just a standard operation at the factory to install that decal..

One other thing to look at is that these units in some cases are worth more than the tractor. They get taken off and sold then the tractor is sold.

I agree Maynard. An incomplete hi/lo just sold on eBay for $152.00.
