Found a nice 208-super

[Jonnysac 40]

I picked up this original 208 super a few days ago. This is a one owner tractor.

I'm just curious, but what does the "super" stand for? I have a B207, which originally had the 7hp B&S, so I'm assuming that the B208 is equipped with the 8hp power plant. Just wondering....Tom

SWEEEEET......Amazing what a little cold water will do! I like the T-10 also!

She cleaned up real nice, I like the t-10 also, I have a t-13. jh

Nice haul! Is the seat on the Super as good as it looks? That blade looks very nice, and the T-10, well it's just one rare find! Nice job.:D

Jon Is this what they call BARN FRESH?

Barn fresh tractors may become a rarity. Capturing and selling the methane gas from all the chicken poop on them makes them more valuable as a renewable, green, alternate energy resource, LOL!

[Jonnysac 40]

Barn fresh is right. I think that the super has to do with 8hp motor its a little different I think??:I

Nice finds; good luck with them.

Neat little tractor. Never seen a super decal on one.That is pretty cool!!!!

[Chris727 1,223]

I think the "super" had something to do with having the seat with arm rests and the raised hood , whereas some had a flat hood like a homesteader 8 and a regular "low back" lawnmower seat. I believe another difference was the "super" tractors had larger tires and hubcaps, these differences were outlined in one of the owners manuals at the time for a B-207 or 208, I have one at home but don't have it here, seems to me that Kent had it posted somewhere on the main site, I'll look for it and post a link if I find it.

Great find! I want a B-208!

Other than the seat, that looks just like my "regular" B-208. Maybe I'll make a super sticker and put it on mine.

Here is the page that may shed some light on the differences between the regular and the "super." http://www.simpletractors.com/operation/207_208/page_2.htm

My 207-Deluxe has the arm rest seat and the chrome bumper. Most B's I've seen had this over thier Simplicity couterparts. Nice catch on the tire size change Maynard.
