Nice lawn tractors Kyle.  Probably made by Simplicity but at one point AC
owned Simplicity and they were actually made in an AC plant.  Not sure which
models were AC built.   The shuttle clutch means you can shift on the fly
between forward and reverse at the same speed as the gear selector is set.
Just like the hydro you are talking about.

If the price is right you should pick it up.

> Hi folks, I am looking at buying an Allis 712 garden tractor. Is anybody
familiar with these machines?  I am told they were made by Simplicity.  Do
these things have a good reputation? This one looks great cosmetically, has
a 12 hp cast iron Kohler engine.

forward/reverse hydro lever on the right like a straight hydro tractor, but
also has a 4-speed gear selector below the steering wheel. What's the
difference between a "shuttle" drive and a hydrostatic drive? I haven't seen
this tractor in person, just pictures. Thanks,
