Dave, the one major difference I noted is the front axle on the 720 is heavier duty then the 620 although some of the early 720s still had the lighter duty axle. Know a couple other items escape me on the differences.

Biggest difference was decals, but the 720 came with more options available

I’m not aware of any implement differences. 2,000 rpm pto throughout the series. I have a tiller from the 616 era that works perfectly on my 720.

616 started out with multi piece/hanger bearing PTO shaft from engine to transmission and downdraft carburetor 16 hp Onan. 620/720 are one piece PTO shaft and have side draft carburetor 19/20 hp Onan. Same internal spline PTO connection for implements. 616 and early 620 also had narrower rear fenders.

720 with the heavy duty front axle if using a loader otherwise the 620 will do fine. 620 I had handled everything including the 52" snowblower. Used the snowblower and 60" mower on my 400' drive plus areas of our association common 1 mile driveway.

The wiring is a little different on 616 than the 620/720. Also the charging system is better on the 620/720 models.... Steve@B&B
