Price for old Simplicity 4040

[hobie]

Saw a 4040 on Craig's List for 2800.00 I has been repainted, the tractor looks nice, has good tires, front mount snowblower, and a rusty 60" mower deck. I don't need a tractor now, but have a sister in law that could really use it. Anybody know about these tractors, and the price? Thanks, Brian

Nothing about that specific machine BUT Simplicity parts are availble for 30 - 40 year old machines and they are well built to begin with...Last summer I replaced the front wheel bushings on my college friend's 1980 simplicity tractor. He asked the dealer how much longer he could expect it to last & the guy said at least another 30+ years...

The 4040 is a great little tractor. You can get all sorts of accessories. The price seems pretty reasonable.

Check out "michaels tractors" - it is a forum all about AC and Simplicities. Lots of good info there.

I have two AC 616's which is the same unit.

I should have added that these things mow like a dream.

Thanks guys! Those are great links. Haven't been able to contact seller, or my sister in law. Will try again tomorrow. On line it looks like a tractor I could love, and would be great for my SIL. Keeping fingers crossed. Brian
