GRANDERS Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I have a Jc Penny lawn tractor. No model # on it. It has 1440 on the hood and serial # of 91-000-7724. It has counter rotating blades and it needs new ones. Could anyone help? Thanks Gary
MPH Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Though Simplicity did sell tractors, think only one model, through JC Penny, I believe it was only one year. Been one found that's been on here, been a few years ago, but 1440 don't ring a bell for model #
firefoxz1 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Would that happen to be 14hp 40" rear discharge deck? If so I beleive it to be build by Murray and I think I can come up with a Sears number for you for the blades.
goatfarmer Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Might also be a Gilson. Take a blade off, and have it matched up.
GRANDERS Posted April 1, 2007 Author Posted April 1, 2007 yes it is a 14hp 40"cut and rear discharge on both sides any help would be great thanks Gary
firefoxz1 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Haven't found the manual yet but I'm looking. Gilson had rear discharge but haven't found one with counter rotating blades like the Murray built one. Does it sort-off look like this mower [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/kismar/HP171.jpg[/IMG]
MPH Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Barely caught the Simplicity built JC tractor on the "member spotlight" coming on site. It says 494 CC on the side of hood, before I got scrolled down to read members name it flashed off
gregc Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Is this the one you saw Marty? [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/uploaded/gregc/494cc.jpg[/img]
MPH Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Couldda been Greg, pretty short glimps I got of it but the 494 made me reconize what it was. Is that yours?
MPH Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Cool, couldn't remember who had that. Am I correct in that it's the one and only one found thus far?
gregc Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 No, I think there are three or four other members that had or still have one. I haven't heard of any on here in quite some time though.
HubbardRA Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 I bid on a very rusty one on ebay about a year ago. Not too far from home, but went too high for me. Still see one once in a while.
dratkinson Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Find a dealer for Oregon blades. Measure the length of each of your blades, the diameter of the center hole, and the rotation direction. In the front of the Oregon book is a listing of blades by length, rotation, and page number. Check each blade listed and find one that matches yours. Good luck.
