Just picked this up over the weekend. Runs great! Was converted over to an electronic ignition. The P.O. even put an alternator on it. It’s a Simplicity 9020 Powermax with a 19.5 Onan... Just needs some paint!

Looks like a beast! Is it the same as the little Allis tractors that used an Onan? Those were kind of modeled after the full sized AC farm tractors.

AC owned Simplicity MFG at that time. The tractors were beast and compared nicely to the 154 Cub Lo-Boy. The AC/Simplicity models had a nicer mowing system. They have cult following these days. Have fun with your new toy!

I think they are far superior to the Lo-Boy. Better 3pt. True 540 rear PTO. FAR better. The LB would have been a decent tractor if it just had a freakin PTO.

I agree. We are spoiled today with the compact tractors that have so many features and benefits. But, in the mid 70's those were the choices we had. Tractors like Kubota and Yanmar were on their way but were still lesser known for their versatility and reliability.

The 4040, 4041, 920, Power Max 9020 and the Lo-Boy series are all expensive to repair. I personally like old Lo-Boys not because they were great tractors, but because they run nicely and look cool. Simplicity has always had a great mowing system but decks for that series of tractors, while rugged, were not deep decks. If they were leveled properly and the blades sharpened correctly they would outperform any of the Lo-Boy decks

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
