    Are DB’s common up in Ontario? Don’t see many British machines around here.

    I've seen a few in this area but don't think there are many. I bought this used from a dealer almost thirty years ago. Very dependable and simple.

    No I don't but they are a well built machine. Cecil Pond would be proud to see how many are still being used. Definitely a keeper !!

    Tractors back then were built to last for generations. Many companies used parts from cars and/or full size machinery.

    This Simplicity is about 1700 lbs with the 60" deck. The Case towed it uphill across the soft yard a couple hundred feet like it wasn't even there. I'd like to see one of the Home Depot mowers with the teeny pin on tires and a tin frame attempt such a feat.

    Very close J. Dirt It’s a Fordson power major and yes it’s a diesel.

    Dad also has a Super that requires restoration, a Farm major and another power major.
