      I don't know much about them other than its about 8hp Broadmoor.
      I believe they had cast iron mushroom weights and chains available for the rear wheels

    They didn’t make a 700 in 61

      simplicity 725 was new in 1962

      I guess I might be wrong. I was told they stopped making the 700 in 60 and switched to the 725 for 61. Do you know how many 700s were made?

      @@jakegardner160 no records on production numbers only way to tell is by comparing serial of early and late 700 tractors most are missing serial tags unfortunately

      yes, the frames were made between 59 and 60. The engine model dates to 61, so it's probably a cross over year between the 700 and 725

      I have a lot of simplicity/allis chalmers products between 64 and 89
      My father loves the 712H
      I do plan to repair a 17gth for next year.
      So many its hard to prioritize to decide whats inside, outside, or no longer needed to then pass on.
      I swapped my b1 for the 64 landlord
      Probably swap the 712H for the 17gth hydrolift hydrostatic
      Not sure if I want to keep 3 craftsman gt tractors around either🤷‍♂️
