Nice looking tractor......I am unsure of the rectangular headlights though. I guess that I am used to the round ones.

They have replaceable auto style halogen bulbs, I dont think they light any better then the round sealed beams on my 7112H, cheaper and MUCH easier to replace though.

My Dad fell in love with the steering in 30 seconds flat, he wouldn't admit it, but it was pretty obvious.
WOW is right, that power steering setup is the cats meow. I could even sing the prises of the Kohler Command V-Twin, But I wont. :)
So now I have both Sovereigns my Dad bought new. I bought the PS Sovereign with his money then went through it. My original offer was to sell his 2000 Sovereign whan I delivered the "New" one, but when I had it loaded it on the trailer Thursday night, he said if you want it it's yours, really appreciate all the help. It was difficult, but I accepted. :)
And the beauty? When he sells the house in a year or two, I'll get the PS tractor back!

I never noticed on those, that the exhaust exits right out the front, by the axle. Unique...

Bought new in 2001, it was left over from 2000 - the last year for the Sovereign.
Be interesting to research the numbers and find out how close to the last this one was. Has to be close, Simplicity scrapped the Kohler Triad (Literally) and went back to the Kohler Command in 2000.

That would be neat to find out how close it is.
