Are the frames the same in the 710-716 garden tractors?? For example, could the 16hp kohler bolt into a 710? Thanks.

I think they are. The 716 that I have came originally with a 16 hp Kohler but it was retrofitted with a 16 hp Briggs. I know between some of the older engines and the newer engines, commands for example, the height of the base of the engine to the centerline of the driveshaft is a hair different so that's something to doublecheck. I retrofitted a 23 hp kohler command into a 7117 that had a 17 hp kohler kt17 twin in it, and one of the things that had to be done was to make a mounting plate to raise the engine up a 1/2 to get the driveshaft aligned properly.

Hope that helps. Otherwise, post something on the simpletractors website. there is alot of good guys on there. Once you get on the website, on the far right is a small icon that you have to click on to get to the forum.

Kevin, when you go to the home page, there are a series of icons on the top right. They will highlight when you drag the cursor across them. Go to the one marked Clubhouse and click it. This will direct you to a tool bar with sections on it. Drag the sections and each one will have a drop down menu to click on where you wish to go.

As far as I can see, the 700 series frames are the same. I've looked at a whole pile of em' at Dales' show this year, and from what I can tell, its the exact same frame. Even the rear bolt on section where the gear box is located and back are the same. In any event, the 700's make awesome work machines. My 716H is a animal especially in the snow removal department. Its unstoppable with its AC Dozer blade and the aggresive ATV rear fatso's for the extra bite. I added a rear weight box, and look out here I come!
