acken 141 Posted June 22, 2007 On the serial plate/decal of my Wards it lists a Simplicity counterpart model number of 990359. When I try to find this Simplicity number I come up empty. Any ideas? I believe it to be a 1965 model based on the engine numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rsachs 0 Posted June 22, 2007 I will check my Squire 10 tonight and post the number from it. I know the engine code on it is from 1965. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acken 141 Posted June 22, 2007 I will verify if I read the numbers correctly. But didn't Allis buy out Simplicity in 1965, and at the same time quit making for Wards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsachs 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Ken, you are reading it correctly, mine is the same model number, SIM 990359, Serial 0002043. My Dad was the original owner and it has been in the family since he bought it in 1966 from MG Wards. The owners manual that came with it is the Simplicty 101 from 65-66. It has been chewed on by mice some, but I still have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UCD 14 Posted June 25, 2007 Those are the MFG#'s for Simplicity built Wards tractors. Simplicity did not list the MFG#'s for the off brand tractors it made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acken 141 Posted June 25, 2007 Here she is with sheet metal painted, will pull that off now to paint chassis. I used Light Chestnut Poly, from mid 80's GM car. Was close to original, but could have been a little browner. This was one of tractors from Spring Valley, MN auction Sept 06. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
