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 there any springyness to the linkage when you try to shift, does it bow under tension?

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

Yes to both of your answers.

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

I`ve looked on the frame,under hood and seat pan couldn`t find tag . The name on the tractor is baron-H.

Went to link that you gave me and it had nothing but a black screen.

Just for the heck of it, I tried the link, clicked on the manuals link, entered the model number and I got a 40 page manual for a Baron mower. Looks like that one works fine.
