From the factory, was the grille on a 716H flat black or gloss black? Thanks.

Mine was flat black when I got it. It was definitely well used.

I think they were the semi-gloss black that the Agco dealers still carry. This is what I use with all my grills and it looks great and can be washed easily to return it to a clean grill. the flat black that I have used in the past seems to hold dirt and not wash clean. Dan

Would that be the same as Briggs black?

orangemetalguy: how many tractors do you have now?? witch is your favorite. for black I use what ever I think is right. with that said when I use the rattle can treatment. I get it down to bare metal then spray then I use a clear gloss after. that way the sun, and washing it don't kill what I just got done taking time on doing. good luck

Just one, this is my first resto. I have it stripped and treated with Metal-Ready... might go with a gloss, now that I think about it, to match the running boards.
