Was able to get a Holzforma kit for the teeth/spikes off Amazon. They had the kit with screws spikes etc for $14.69 so worth it. Then was able to get the 28" Neo Advance bar and chain with a 50% off coupon on Amazon too. Cheap all very cheap ($40 cheap) lol. Will be interesting to see how...
After some investigation it has the clutch drum and sprocket on it and an extra sprocket. It's missing the tool kit with the accessories it appears and all the mounting screws for the handle. Along with the teeth for the bar area.
Got the new $44 unit. Was not as advertised though and this came instead. It's missing some parts for it like the teeth for the chain area and all of the tool kit as advertised is missing. But it'll run a 36" chain maybe. I'll have to tinker with it to find out if it's worth the time and...
I have two Simplicities. A ZT2500 with front only suspension which does very little. And a Simplicity Citation XL which has full suspension. The advantage of full suspension is that you can go full throttle across a bumpy field at 10mph+ and all it does is move a little bit under you as it...

I have a Steiner 420. It is a 1994 model year. Yours is probably newer than mine as 430's came out after it. I'd guess at least between 94' to 2000. If you really are interested and want some professional advise call Hartman Steiner in Hanover Pa. They will know and can help you out.
Thanks all for the advise. I figured that for the $44 bucks I have into it now I'll find out how it goes. I've tinkered with a ton of old saws my dad owned over the decades. Some of those I thought were big piles of heavy junk. This one might just be the same.
As for the "why did you...
Yep it was mentioned. I do wonder what it'll be like when I get it next week. Also, would sending it to someone like XYZ be a good idea to go over it and make it worthwhile ? Just a thought.
So I bought one of these 72's today on Whatnot (the auction site) for $43. I've been following the chainsaw threads for a while and have been seeing these on Whatnot for some time on and off. This is the cheapest I've ever seen it and had to buy one just to see what I thought of it...
Rent the backhoe as needed. Skidsteer is nice but if you need a tractor too then you'll have two machines. Consider a tractor with a backhoe. That seems to be the norm on this site anyway.
I've found solid tires on the finish mower decks to be rough on the deck castings. The air in the tires helps to absorb some of the shocks as it passes of the bumps, rocks and other bad items in the yard.
