You may or may Not know!! Revised with REAL Simple

In the beginning, Simplicity made car parts and Stationary Hit Miss engines before partnering with Montgomery Wards to make a family friendly engine powered garden tractor to help with chores around the house. Here is an early example of a Simplicity Hit Miss engine..the REAL grandfather to what has become our passions. I had the pleasure of knowing a dealer who had been in business since the 1940s who had one of these on display along with more history than any one person could absorb in one afternoon. Enjoy!

Very cool video dOd

Its also amazing to me that they were able to jump from the big flywheel type engines to the downsized (modern) engines in the 2 wheel tractors in a short period of time.

      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
