All this time I have been bragging about my Simplicity 727.Well I have a confession to make I don't own a Simplicity 727,if there even is such a thing.I own a 727 farm loader on my Ford 5000 deisel tractor.
What I own is a Simplicity 637 with deck,blower and tiller.All the rest of the story is true.Have had and abused this machine for 32 years.It is my Energizer bunny ,it keeps going and going and going.......

Slipshod, We've got some red paint for Simplicity (Snaplicity) down here in the Carolinas. Want some? By the way the paint is heavy at about 650 lbs a gallon, it also comes applied on that new Tractor ( sounds like Monty Hall ).

You don't have to worry about me I can mow grass 8 ways to breakfast. That little simplicity ain't pretty like it used to be ,but it can mow like a demon.Also I have a C-3 60" deck on my cub.Bush Hog for big tractors.8 foot rear mount finish mower for my John Deere.Several High Wheel trimming mowers.I also have a sickle bar 6' for my ford 5000 I have never used yet.

deck

I did not use the mower on the Simplicity this season.Since I got the cub I have not needed it so the repairs went on the back burner. It will get over to my shop this winter.I like getting my money's worth out of a piece of equipment.I paid $600.00 for that machine 31 years ago. That is $19.62 and a half cent a year.

Theres a tiller for that tractor??? Seems a little small for a tiller. How does it work?

Slipshod,
I love it. That is the kind of old metal I love.
I bet it will throw snow just as good as Simple Johns SHINY one.
I have a 2012 with a 42'' blower that just SCREEMS

It throws snow 20+ feet. Now I am looking for a tiller for mine too.
Thanks for the pic's I enjoyed them.
