larry8200 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 I answered a Cl add for 2 snowblowers for $50 each, and after making a deal for them learned seller is an old Simplicity fan, and also had a pair of hydrolift 2210's and a bunch of attachments he was keeping, but had a 725 he was thinking of parting with. We spent a couple days bantering amd exchanging pictures of our machines and he decided I could have it for $200 if I wanted it. he threw in a plow and disc cultivator for a walker also He said it's sat for several years, and that he'd cleaned out the gas tank, changed the oil, etc. when he put it up, and offered to have it running when I picked it up. I declined saying I'd prefer to check it out if it's sat that long before starting it. He must have had a laugh at that, after looking at it I'm convinced the worst it will take to run is cleaning the points. The BGB and steering are tight, it shifts nice and smooth. The paint muffler and grill aren't original, but I think the rest is, including a seat without a tear. I have no idea how he cleaned out the tank, he wouldn't say.... Well, here it is.
