Not sure how many of you out there subscribe to this magazine, I have for a few years and it has a lot of nice articles and stories.

In the latest issue they had a nice write up about an old Simplicity dealer and his restored Landlord 2110 which is a suqare hood foot dragger. They claim in the article that he sold the tractor new in 1965 and took it back in on trade in 1981 and restored it. I enjoyed the article but didnt the squere hoods come out in 1968 or 1969? wouldnt the 1965 landlord be a 101?

Just thought I would share this

Thanks for sharing. Yo're right on the model/year, but I would imagine some of the lines begin to blur for an old timer, a few decades removed from selling hundreds of tractors. I run into this a lot at shows and such and just smile and nod. Learned the first time I tried to 'correct' an ex-dealer on the year of my Big Ten...not worth it!

Last year I bought a '1973' roundhood, blackdash Landlord off a long-term Simplicity guy, and original owner of the tractor. I'm willing to bet I would not have had an invite back to his place to see it, if I had argued that his memory was off a bit.

Talked to that fellow at a show in Northern Indiana a couple of years ago. He has some amazing modified Simplicity tractors.Mind seemed sharp as a tack.Here are pics of his 725 with sickle mower and a 4X4 he made. It is a larger pic than the one on pg.66 in Antique Power. My guess is the magazine screwed up the dates; not him....Dave

      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
