I grew up on a farm in Southeast Nebraska
driving Farmalls and John
Deeres. I first became aquainted with Allis-Chalmers garden tractors in 1991 when I moved
to the country and needed a tractor for mowing
and snow removal. I just happened accross a B- 112 and since it had a
blade I bought it. This tractor was manufactured in 1968, is all original, and has been in
continuous service for 31 years! I was so impressed
with the quality of the 13- 1121 that I have purchased 3 more of these
rugged, durable little machines.

Simplicity made the original Allis-Chalmers
garden tractors. AC bought
Simplicity in 1965. Simplicity beame independent again in 1985 with the demise of the
Allis-Chalmers Corporation. Simplicity and Allis-
Chalmers garden tractors are identical except for the models made from
1968 to 1973, on which there are some differences, primarily sheet metal and steering
gear. Simplicty design features are many, including
deeper mower decks for a better cut (especially in tall grass), decks
attached to the front axle for less scalping, and cast iron engine blocks and
differentials for extra long life.
