EdwardLincoln Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I guy gave me a JC penny garden tractor a while back, just haven't picked it up. It looks pretty good for setting outside for many years the engine isn't stuck but the drive shaft is disconnected from the flywheel. It has some wheel weights that are smaller than the normal simplicity type. When I get it home I'll take some pictures. It has headlight pods on the side of the hood and the seat is junk.
Talntedmrgreen Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Cant wait to see it! It is hard to find a Penneys, and flat out rare to be given one! 2

That's because last time you had one, Josh, you didn't call me and say "Hey Brett, you want a free JC Penney tractor?" Then it wouldn't be so rare............. 2 1

Talntedmrgreen Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Well, I still have a JCP, so, it's not out of the question. Unlikely, but not out of the question. 2

EdwardLincoln Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 Just picked the ol beast up, needs a good scrub. It has some odd rear wheel weights 3
PhanDad Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 They are my favorite Simplicity OEM wheel weights. Mounted as they are on your tractor, they are perfect for providing an excellent mounting surface to stack other home made weights made from steel plate. Although "officially" they are shown mounted with the other side facing out. They are in this catalog: https://simpletractors.com/files/file/69-misc-attachments-and-accessories-7000-series/
ShaunE Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Those aren't odd rear wheel weights. They are actually kind off hard to find. They are part #990708. They are the inner wheel weight that can be used with the much more common #990046 outer wheel weight. In my area they sell for $150-$200. Had to edit mine as @PhanDad types faster than I do.
GregB Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I would love to get a set of those given to me mounted on the JCP 494. I remember looking at that tractor walking thru Penneys back in the day...........when they also still sold tools.
EdwardLincoln Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 It must be close to the same year of the simplicity 7112?
rbstuartjr Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Those look like the inner wheel weights that I have on my Sovereign. I have both inner and outer rear wheel weights on this machine. They originally came on my 910. 1

GregB Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Must be close to 1972 or 1973. Pretty sure the JCP is the same as a simplicity 7013S. Edit: Went back and checked, the 7013 was listed in the "new in 1975" brochure listed in the research section. Edited February 22, 2019 by GregB 1

I havent seen a JCP catalog with this tractor in it yet, to understand when JCPenney actually marketed the machines. Ed, I would love to know what your tractor and engine serial numbers are. I have been collecting that info on all of these tractors I have come across. 1
EdwardLincoln Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 The frame is hiding the number on the flywheel housing but I'm going to pull the engine just to get it all cleaned up. I will post the sn's
Talntedmrgreen Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Ed the serial should be easily visible below the starter generator and between the decals
EdwardLincoln Posted February 23, 2019 Author Posted February 23, 2019 MR Green; Thanks for posting the picture, I thought the sn was on the carb side., engine sn; 302431=0144-01-7404191; JCP sn 1830-1690126-001254
Talntedmrgreen Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Well, of the 5 or so machines I have been able to date so far, all have been May 28 engines. Yours is an April 19! Cool
Brettw Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Josh, I have checked Fed Ex, UPS, Fastenal, Schnieder, XPO, JB Hunt, YRC, Swift, RTL, and any others I can think of. No one has any bill of lading for a JC Penney tractor to my address. I assume it's a paper work glitch. Can you follow up please and give me the skinny on when the drop ship date is? Thanks in advance! Your best friend, Brett Edited February 23, 2019 by Brettw 1
Talntedmrgreen Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Brett, it was delivered and signed for over a week ago! Better ask the wife... 1
