| | | old simplicity tractor
I have a old simplicity 3414H garden tractor, I`m having trouble adjusting linkage from transmission to shifter . I either have forward or rev. or little forward and no rev..
Right now I`m in forward mode so I can plow the snow , rev would help .

| Shifter linkage rarely actually goes out of adjustment but it can bend and sometimes loose bolt of clamp that held an arm ridgid or straight. Carefully inspect then entire run of the linkage for any bent or missing parts or bolts. Is ther any springyness to the linkage when you try to shift, does it bow under tension? |

| Hi,
Ther should be a tag with a seven digit number on it that may get you a PDF file from: Simplicity Technical Publications
Peace,

| Hi,
It is usually black and white or black and silver and on the frame below and slightly in front of the engine on older machines. I have see some up inside the right fender, and still beneath the seat deck(if it unlatches and swings open rearward.)
Another question? Does it have a name? Like Landlord or Sovereign? The first digits of the model number you gave are frame and the second two engine(14 HP Kohler K-Series?) The "H" should be hydro(though some shuttles used it, too.)
Peace,
Clarke
PS Possibly begins with 169 | |

Simplicity 3414H Baron

Model # 990980
Owner's Manual TP-1374
Use the link above and go to manuals. Origina engine was Briggs & Stratton 30 cu. in. cast iron block.
