VIBRATION-FREE RIDE

Prior to the 2012, putting a big power package into a compact tractor resulted in a great deal of vibration. . . and nothing shakes a tractor owner's confidence more than heavy vibration. The new 2012 puts those shaky days in the past, with a new Briggs & Stratton engine that cuts vibration drastically. This engineering feat was achieved through a system of synchronized balancers which reduce engine vibration. This cuts to a minimum the vibration transmitted through the steering wheel, seat and foot rests, and results in smooth, even engine performance. . . reduced operator fatigue. . . greater comfort and efficiency. How does the engine combat vibration? Counterweights at each end of the crankshaft are geared to rotate in a direction opposite from the crankshaft weights. Thus the counterweights balance the crankshaft weights in a horizontal position (sketch A) and in the vertical position combine with the crankshaft weights to balance the weight of the piston (sketch B).

BUILT TO LAST

The designers of this engine put durability foremost. Precision ball bearings at both ends of the crankshaft withstand severe loads under any conditions . . . chrome-plated piston rings assure maximum ring and engine life. . . Stellite-faced exhaust valve and stellite seat, plus positive-type rotator, result in more than double normal valve life. . . Dual-spring governor regulates idle and all running speeds, and immediately adjusts for heavy loads. . . Rotating screen on starter hub seals out twigs, grass and debris.

Put a versatile new 2012 in your life, and live the life of Simplicity 12 months of the year!
