Hello from West Texas

[Coskdog]

Thank you for allowing me to join the group.
I had never heard of Simplex until I saw this sitting a yard and stopped and became the new owner.
I know the pictures are not very good quality.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That’s a very late 1957 or very early 1958 Model M.  Did you get any other parts with it?

Btw, welcome aboard!

[Coskdog]

Unfortunately, no this is all.
I wasn't even sure if it was worth trying to find parts for it, but a gentleman that rebuilds old tractors told me once.
"If there is enough of it to make a shadow it can be rebuilt"
Thank you for the info BTW

[Ricks]

If that’s all you have it will probably be cost prohibitive to restore it.  I’d probably build it out with a HF predator motor and some Worksman wheels.

Welcome to the world of Simplex.  Let us know how you do with this ride.

[Coskdog]

Thank you all for the welcome. Ricks I appreciate the advice, I wasn't sure if the frame was of any real value. I was thinking about trying to build it with an engine that I have.

Frames are cheap, and easy to find.  A gas tank is much harder to find, and more expensive.  Like I said, build it with an non original engine and ride it!

That's what I would do .
You might consider making a custom fuel tank , like Tom did .
