Hi Tom, OT/ RE: Simplicity, Picked up a a real sweet Simplicity riding lawn mower on Craigslist last week. I flipped it and doubled my money in about 3 hours or so. When the guy bought it from me I looked down while we were loading it and saw the sticker " Simplicity MFG- Port Washington, Wisconsin". Real nice mower with their "floating" deck. Are you familiar with this up there? Best regards, Ken
