| So I pulled this out of the junkyard almost four months ago and built it up with a very minimal amount of money.It is a 1968 Simplicity Landlord with a 240000 series 10hp cast iron block engine with a starter generator electric start system. It is currently pulley swapped with 3 inch on the trans and a 6 1/2 inch on the engine. It tops out at around 30mph. This is it then. ![1968 Simplicity Landlord Offroad Img_2012](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/19/34/75/62/img_2012.jpg) And now. ![1968 Simplicity Landlord Offroad Mower10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/19/34/75/62/mower10.jpg) " />" />

did the atv tires come on it?
Yes it came with the atv tires. I took them off another lawnmower in the yard because the original rear tires were full of holes. | |

The engine is a syncro-balanced 12hp 300000 series cast iron block engine that now runs beautifully and loves gas. Apart ![1968 Simplicity Landlord Offroad Imag0410](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/19/34/75/62/imag0410.jpg) Together ![1968 Simplicity Landlord Offroad Imag0510](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/19/34/75/62/imag0510.jpg) got the 10hp out ![1968 Simplicity Landlord Offroad Imag0511](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/19/34/75/62/imag0511.jpg) side by side comparison 10vs12 ![1968 Simplicity Landlord Offroad Imag0512](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/19/34/75/62/imag0512.jpg) Sorry i forgot to take a picture after i was done but ill get one soon. | |

| Wow very nice. The 12hp should be a considerable difference, I think the dicplacement of the 12 is greater than the 10hp by like 3ci lol. | |

yea there's a pretty big difference in displacement. The displacement of the 10hp is 393cc (23.98ci)and the 12hp is 494cc (30.15ci). But so far the 12hp is performing ALOT better than the 10hp ever did. Now i just burn more gas but, thats all. ![Cool](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_cool.gif) | |

| so today i was riding my lawnmower around and my muffler fell right off. turns out my pipe broke ![1968 Simplicity Landlord Offroad Imag0513](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/19/34/75/62/imag0513.jpg) ![1968 Simplicity Landlord Offroad Imag0514](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/19/34/75/62/imag0514.jpg) but im thinking about doing a straight pipe exhaust with a spare pipe ive got sitting around anyways and the muffler came from a different lawnmower that ive got. also ive got some rims that i bought so i can get some new wider tires to mount on them for the front and back ![1968 Simplicity Landlord Offroad Imag0515](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/19/34/75/62/imag0515.jpg) | |

| Take a chain, a come-along, and a nearby tree to pull it out. Or wait till it dries up and drive it out. Looks good tho. | |

| What he did was he tied the strap to the back of the mower and to a tree and just tightened the strap til it was out of the mud. | |
