7119 project

I found this 7119 on craigslist.

One of the previous owners replaced the original motor with a Briggs Vanguard. But at some point, the Vanguard dropped a valve which resulted in this "piston/valve assembly."

I cleaned up the frame

and had the seat pan/fender and hood commercially powder coated.

I found another Vanguard. Now I just have stir things around and voila!

7119 hydro with hydrolift the tractor I learned how to drive on and still my favorite. Yours is looking great, any big plans for it yet?

What color did you have the seat pan powdercoated? I'm building a grader blade, and would like to have it powdercoated, but I want it to match.

Beats my two pair. I just picked a paint chip from the wall at the order desk. But I will get the specs if you like.

I wouldn't mind trying powder coat for body panels that don't contact other panels, like a hood and seat pan, but when i've tried powder coat on other things, the first chip is the beginning of the rest peeling off. sm02 Paint you can touch up. I wouldn't PC a grader, that's for sure.
