Simplicity Attachment Compatibility (70's-80's)

I'm most likely picking up an early 80's Simplicity 7112 Landlord tomorrow, it has a mower deck installed and has a unattached but allegedly working tiller. All appear to be in good condition, the Kholer engine runs strong abd it's a pretty good deal. ($500, owner bought house and tractor came with it, he doesn't want it.)

I also found an older set of Simplicity Landlord Tractors, one runs but needs work/tuneup, and is an early 70's 3210v the other is a 60's for parts. Together they come with a snow blower, tiller, plow, and deck, plus additional spare parts. Altogether he wants $300.

So my question is, how would I go about finding out if any of the attachments will work on the newer tractor? I'm not looking for any crazy fabrication, pretty much swap parts and/or plug and play. I'm handy with a wrench. Not a lot of experience with these older tractors, but I'm sick of the newer MTD crap and not looking to spend thousands for a Deere or big tractor.

I'd primarily like to have the tiller(s) working and the plow. And another mower deck would be nice as well, as I'm sure it's just a matter of time before my ******** dies. I've searched here, other forums, and google, can't seem to find any answers.

Thanks fellas.

Picked up the 7112 today, great little tractor. Took the mower deck off and ran it, it's a beast! That 12hp Kholer is more powerful than the 26hp Kholer on my Craps man, lol

Very nice tractor in very good cosmetic condition. Take very good care of that seat, its in excellent shape and they are hard to find. The dash is not rusted out, be cautious of the battery leaking as that is a common cause for the dashes getting rotted out. As for the attachments, the pre 1971 tractors use a different hitch for the dozer blades. A garden plow will directly interchange. If the tiller on the older tractors has a 2 belt system, it will not work directly on your newer tractor.
