richp 0 Posted May 20, 2007 Finally finished my 7116 (was 7119). Not an accurate resto, but I like it. I am not A big fan of the white hoods, they seem to get stained to quick. Figured I would try the orange hood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtwygreg 0 Posted May 20, 2007 Looks great! It doesn't have to be an accurate resto, the orange is a nice personal touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.Ikard 2 Posted May 20, 2007 Rich, Looks very good- I have an identical briggs powered Allis 914 due a paint/resto and was considering the vertical stack-did you brace the muffler anywhere? Was also considering AG tires-what brand and size are those? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehertzfeld 1 Posted May 20, 2007 Looking good there Rich, would look great in the line up at Colchester in the fall!:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richp 0 Posted May 20, 2007 As far as the stack, I haven't figured out an effective brace design yet. Hood comes down too low to catch the head bolts. I'll figure something out. Tires are 23 x 10.5 x 12 Carlisle power trac's. I forget what the fronts are. I think they are for a snowblower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carbuff713 0 Posted May 20, 2007 Very nice. How are you going to use it? If you use it to cut grass let us know how those snowblower tires on the front work out. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firefoxz1 4 Posted May 20, 2007 Nice. The orange looks good but the white breaks up the mono color scheme. The front tires look like snow hogs, mainly for snowblowers. Could you run a brace down to the motor mounting bolt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HubbardRA 19 Posted May 20, 2007 I just recently purchased a set of the silver decals. They look very good on the orange hood Simplicities. I plan on an orange hood with the silver decals when I restore my 7116H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
