A B/S Vanguard or Kohler Command would make a nice swap I would think. Don't know how much work it would be though... ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |

My 720 has been re-powered with a gas 23 hp B/S engine, it works very well. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

| Might try to contact Larry Karg at orangespectacular.com. He has done some innovative engine swaps and extensions on this tractor size. |

If the frame is extended, what about the hood? |

| Larry Karge's 720 was at Hickory Corners approx ten years ago; it looked professional. That was before I became interested in 720's, now wish I had pursued details. |
