Found a nice 208-super

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

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

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!

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.

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.
