I was bitten by the diesel garden tractor bug about 3 years ago and havent found a cure. I eventually want to own 2 gt's of each brand name. For example, I have my 882, and want a 782D or a Super Diesel to go with it. I have a JD 332 and want a JD 430 to pair up with it and so on...

I got on craigslist friday night and did my usual searches and about had a heart attack when I saw an ad for a Simplicity diesel tractor. I immediatly called and someone was already coming to buy it in the morning. I told him to keep me in mind in case something happened to first caller. VERY bummed out knowing that this gt only exists in my fairytales. They were only built for 3 years in the mid 80's so finding one is like finding hens teeth or frogs hair. Yesterday morning I get a call saying the first guy came and left. He didnt like it. It was too noisy and he didnt know much about diesel engines. I told the guy I have the cash ready and Im on my way.

Here is the scoop on this rare bird that Im so happy to say is finally mine!!:

Simplicity 7790. Twin cylinder Lombardini air cooled diesel engine. (Italian made). Hydro lift and tranny. All the lights work. It has a 48" deck underneath. Snow chains, snow blower, vaccum unit for a leaf vac, dump cart, tiller, and a sickle mower!! All have the manuals too. She runs great but has a bad fuel leak at the injection pump. Ive already researched and found out how to fix this apparently common problem.

Now for the pics:

This thing would look so cool with some ags. I dont have a plow behind it and I have no idea where to find one. Its got a funky hitch on the back. Ill be researching some more about the hitch/plow combo because I would love to plow with it. Thanks Duke!

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.
