I give up, just bought a new (2010 leftover) Simplicity Conquest today (pics and description posted on the Simplicity forum). Got it at dealer cost as a leftover with 1.9% financing for 60 months and the B&S Vangaurd motor instead of the other ones they offering for 2011 (B&S ELS or Kohler Courage, no thanks). I still hope to get the Toro running and sell it for what I can. If it's running OK it's still a darn nice tractor worth a few bucks, I just don't have time or energy for it anymore. I'm ordering parts for the Toro, I'll let you all know if I get it going soon.
