 Topic: Simlicity Pow R Max 9020

The 9020 was parked ten years ago with engine problems, today she moved under her own power.
Wiring harness is old and brittle, I'll be making a new loom with a newer style regulator that's mounted in a more convenient location.
Awesome little tractor.

Took the 9020 on a hill climb, governor responds to the load.
Time to stop playing and get the wiring done properly and that new seat mounted.

They are great little tractors. I had to make a new harness for my 720 when I restored it. Not too bad, just lay out the old one for measurements. I upgraded the gauge size as the factory wiring was too small and tended to over heat. They are powerful, hydro and 3 gears make them very usable for all types chores.

About the only chore my machine will see is blowing snow from our very long and steep driveway and some walking trails for Pat.
I have the tiller for this tractor but our well does not produce enough water to plant a large garden, maybe build a blade for the front to dress up the driveway every once in awhile.
These tractors are probably the best that ever hit the market.

Power steering would have been nice, especially with an attachment on the front

I'll let you know how it goes with that heavy snowblower mounted on the front end, I've just mounted the blower and will take her for a test run later.

Just completed the snowblower test run, in fact the blower has a very heavy gage cutting edge and I was able to grade some freshly spread gravel.
IMO there's no need for power steering, with the recirculating ball steering box this tractor is easy to steer even with a heavy load on the front end.
