I_Mauer 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2002 I just bought a Simplicity Sovereign - 16 HP Cast Iron Briggs 1976 and am not familiar with this drive type. It has a 4 speed shift between the legs and a forward and reverse lever on the right side - the lever looks just like a hydro unit shift lever. I am not sure what lubricants need to be checked on the transmission or what to use. Unfortunately, the tractor has no model numbers on it at all. So I am stuck as where to find the right manual. Is there any one who can help me attach a model number to this unit? It would be appreciated. I want to make sure I am using the right lubes and verify that they are full for the right angle gear box and the transmission. Thank You. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch 4 Report post Posted June 4, 2002 For sure you have a shuttle drive transmission. Problem is, I can find those used with 12 & 14 hp engines, but not 16hp. Maybe I missed it, or your engine has been replaced, or it's not a 16hp. Go over to SimpletrACtors and check the x-ref and other "rooms". There's alot of info there.
