Today's haul
 

Hey guys,
Just got back from picking this load up, it was under a Lew price to say the least...
I like the cart!:biggrin2:

Cart full!

Looks like a great haul! Nice one nick!:beerchug: (this is pop):biggrin2:

old Simplicity 700 , My dad had one when I was a kid

Model 17 Briggs engine

Nice haul!! I'm diggin' the funky chicken by the flagpole, too!! Guess we know what is your next project. Are you going to restore it? Use it?????

BTW> I think that the steering wheel design on that is designed so a rider can have an extra big belly :biggrin2:.

Cub Cadet 123

Sweet, yep it's not a Cub but it's cool because it's pre Big Box Store. :beerchug:

Yep, thanks guys it's a 725. I like it

The starter is on backwards.:biggrin2:

Nice find,
never seen a gas powered cart,where is the steering wheel?
Nick if you paid 100,that is a myself price

Lews way of saying you did GOOD. He just won't admit it. :biggrin2:

OK, the 725 was 1961 to 65 I think, had the model 19 briggs in it, 700 was 1959 and 60 and had the model 17. they were nice tractors. bevel gear box seams to be the weak link

Congrats on the new toys Nick!!:beerchug:

Cubcadet if you ever need help with anything on that simplicity, go on YouTube and contact ZippoVarga. Super nice dude, Briggs and Stratton guru and the all is/simplicity go to guy. If I have any questions about anything Briggs he is my first contact. Take a look!

Nice haul Nick:beerchug: did you have to shake the money tree, or was there enough left over from the last harvest?:biggrin2:

Lol Lew, I have to install the engine
I paid 50
Woo hoo got it for half a Lew price

There was enough left over.:biggrin2:

So I noticed the PO left the spark plug loose and it was rusty :bash2: and some rust on valve so I removed it with a magnet and soaked with MMO and oil then installed a better plug, then he left out the oil drain plug when he drained oil and some crud was in the threaded hole, so do I have to pull head and pan?

I'd just fill it up with oil, drain it right away, and fill it up again and run for a couple hours than drain, fill, and you should be good.

Nick,
Nice procurement of toys. And at half a Lew price/half a Benny, score! Branching out from CC's? BTW, I like the chicken, too. We need some more pics of it. Unless that was the seller's house. :Whistle: :biggrin2:

That is my house, lol, ok thanks

Nick,I would pull the pan to see what crawled in there,or at least see if the drain plug is not stripped....

It is not stripped Lew, but I may pull it, I was told to run it with diesel and oil and then flush it out, I stuck a screwdriver in there and it looked ok.

I'd have to agree with Justin106. I'd just flush it with some oil then fill it and run it and drain. if you do take the pan off take the rod cap off to and check it. the Briggs model 17 & 19 engines are pretty hard to find parts for. I rebuilt a 17 about 10 years ago and had trouble finding a connecting rod and piston for it. got lucky and posted a wanted add on the simpletractors site and a dealer contacted me that had some NOS stuff

Ok thanks, I pulled the carb and took it apart and cleaned it, it looked pretty good, it looks to have been rebuilt before, I noticed the intake gasket was broken so I removed that and replaced it.

Got all the crap removed from the flywheel, shroud, and mag, should breathe good now.

The engine is done and ready to install.:beerchug:

Lew would have painted it..........:biggrin2:

Hope it runs. :beerchug: soda for you

Ya I want to see that thing drive. I even have an ice cold one right next to me for the occasion. (sprite:biggrin2:)

Yeah me too, lol, thanks guys.:beerchug:

I got the simplicity all back together.

I think it looks great.

Looks good to me. Did you get it running?

Not yet Sam, the throttle to governor rod broke.:bash2:
I am trying to fix it if not I'll have to get another.

Yes, it looks awesome! I'd love to have something like that.
