I pick up the old girl Saturday morning 4 hour drive but at 1000.00 US for the tractor, deck, tiller snow blower, and blade I think I got away cheap. They only made the 1556 one year and it fits into my collection. I sold one of my Simplicity's to fund this acquisition, but I wanted an older Simplicity anyway

Nice!

My valves still haven't arrived, so its not running yet. Hopefully soon. I did however pick up a reproduction cart to put under the engine, and I must say, its very nice to be able to move the engine around by myself! I'm very pleased with the cart, and it appears very well built. Matt

They'll not mate you know.

Managed to get a bit more done today. Kind of commuted 'tween workshop and house. Prep a part, prime and into the house to dry. Back out to repeat and so on.. Got the carb cleaned up and painted. Ready to fit. Did think about polishing it, then sanity returned. Air filter back plate painted and ready to fit. Seat to fender parts all finished ready to fit. Starter motor painted and ready to fit. Belt guard and opposite side panel cleaned up and insides primed. Considering the diabolical weather here, Freezing gale force wind, sun, rain and sleet taking turns about, I'm rather pleased with my efforts. P.S. Ok! Photo's tomorrow. Maybe!

Dont tell Janet but target is 22 models. Here is a picture of the new MG40 petrol number 15343 dating from 1965
