1969 Simplicity 'Wonder-Boy' riding mower

We got this circa 1969 Simplicity Wonder-Boy from a guy down the street. He got from some old lady in July. This machine is in very good condition. It's got a horizontal-shaft 5hp Briggs & Stratton motor that starts up quick and runs OK, but I think there's something wrong with the governor, you can kind of hear it runs high and the throttle only responds when the motor is under load. And as you can hear the recoil system needs to be cleaned & oiled. I'll have to tinker with it in the spring when I'll probably clean it up and sell it. Oh, and it's got a tiny cutting deck, you can see it on the ground by the truck; I think it's something like 24 inches! The deck is in like new condition, this thing was well cared for. I winterized it and put in the shed so it will remain well cared for while I have it.

I see that this has pulleys on the side. If I did a pulley swap would it go fast? Thanks

It should. Ratios are ratios.

Simplicity describes this mower way too accurately.

[LynolsOffice]

Lol, you're right. Riding mower doesn't get much more simple than this.
