I just bought my first lawn tractor and need to find a copy of the maintenance/service manual so I can keep this baby hummin. Anyone have a copy? Also looking for attachments like snowthrower and tiller. Are they available new from Simplicity or am I better off buying used?

Paul, I think the 716H AC is the same as a Simplicity Sovereign and AC B series tractors. Attachments are available new or used. Here in eastern PA there is a good supply of used attachments. If you don't mind some tinkering and painting the used stuff is by far the best buy. A new tiller is about $1500.00 where a used one will run $75.00 - $500.00. Some used equipment will be missing drive parts and pulleys. Most of these parts can be purchased new and adding the price of the parts to what a used attachment costs still puts you way ahead of buying it new. I have found that Ace Hardware Stores have some steel pulleys like those used by AC. If your missing a pulley someone on the forum should be able to tell you the size pulley you need for anything on an AC tractor you need. As far as manuals go check Jensales, their listed under links.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
