That looks to be a Sovereign 18H, the best Simplicity Sovereign made with hydraulic lift and hydraulic power steering with rear belt-driven PTO and Autmatic traction control. I had a 7016 Sovereign at one time, but my dream Simplicity is an 18H. I have a Simplicity 1 Point Hitch (sleeve hitch) standing by when I find one in my neck of the woods. My 7016 had electric lift but manual steering.
The Sovereign was one of the best-designed shaft drives to right-angle gearbox drive lines made after Gilson. In many ways, it's better than a narrow, wide, or 82 series Cub Cadet. The front and rear belt-driven PTO was standard. The Sovereign 18H was made from 1993 till 2000. The Sovereign is also very easy to work on thanks to its flip-up fender deck.
