This is a Simplicity 7119 with hydro lift.
It's a little bastardized....
The previous owner extended the hood to make more room for the 20hp kohler command he put in it.

Nope, my Dad's Similar Ac 716H used it for the snowblower. A front clutch snowblower is possible on a 7100 Series, but the cone clutch drive is just as good. Actually my Dad's has been converted to use the cone clutch instead. |

As for heat problems I have not had any, the kit came with a heat sheild for the top, IE the bolt holes on the top of the muffler. But my hood is slightly bent and the sheild is too wide to fit under the hood, so I never installed it.
have you ever thought about doing anything with the front shaft on the engine? |

Edit: Here is a Pic.
the setup looks really nice there. Cleaner than mine too..
don't want to bring it out through the old exhaust location? or is that too much back pressure?
Do you have any heat problems? |

well. I mean that it should come out of the old exhaust hole in the picture, off to the side. I think the way it comes out now warms up the snowblower. |

Mine exhausts downward, on the left tractor side. So it does not go out the original location but the exhaust pipe goes out just under the frame in front of the left front tire.
My command was part of a Kit from Edens LTD so they included the new muffer. So don't know where to find one, other than giving them a call. |

Your Oil filter is exactly in the same place as mine in relation to the frame, so I don't see where the hood length is needed.
You're right, I think the muffler would fit without extending it honestly. The previous owner extended the hood to keep it cooler I think. Know of a muffler that exhausts downward instead of forward? I'd kind of like to take the exhaust out the original exhaust location and maybe modify the grille to look original again. |

"It's a little bastardized"
 I disagree,,,,,It looks like a very good job to get what the owner at the time wanted .
 From the pictures, I wish I could strech a hood to look that good!!!!
Besides, the JOE'S of this world need to unite and stick together. |

looks like it should do the trick. |
