My lovely wife has given me approval for a garden tractor. There are a couple of simplicity tractor's in my area both need work but both come with tillers one is a newer model with a 50" deck and vertical shaft engine the other is an older red landlord with the horizontal shaft engine. Which would y'all recommend.

Need to know more...which models are they?....how much are the asking prices?..how many hours on them?
Purists will tell you to got with the horizontal shaft engine...Overall Simplicity is a great tractor..you won't be sorry with the choice
Check out Simpletractors.com it is a site dealing strictly with Simplicity and Allis Chalmers

I’d be all in on the 3410, I used to have the Homelite version of the 3415. I miss that tractor, and the umpteen implements I had for it.

The 3410...you can put a nova ignition module in...costs about 12 dollars and eliminate the points...if you have the $$$$ you should pick them both up....never hurts to have backup....the price is a little high for not working tractors....no deck with the 3410?...really only worth about 275 to 300 bucks...around here in New York...the newer one is probably a 350-400 dollar tractor in working condition...the tiller adds a little to the value...what would you use them for?
If you are mechanically inclined, you should get some good use from either one

These are hard to come by in my area. The 3410 is complete. I'm learning that way because I have found some Alice Chalmers attachments for a good price that should work on it. How hard is the Nova swap

Nova is pretty easy

Well wound up picking up the 3410 cleaned the points put a battery in it and she fired right up still need to finish tuning before I put it to work.

Also came with a tiller and this isn't the midwest so these things are hard to come by in one peice around here.

Did you get the mule drive/pulley set up for the tiller also? Great garden tractors, those were. Congrats.

A running simplicity with a mower deck and a tiller is definitely worth $400 around here.

Central Ohio. Here the tiller by itself would be $200 on CL.

Got the carburetor adjusted and got her fired up for the first time last night ran smoothly and no smoke I am very pleased
