Well I got a chance to tinker with the S/B today. It's going to go on the 725 when I get it done and spiff up the S/B too . I sill have a few ? though, Is the original chain the same size as what the mower deck uses for chain? What are you to do with the transport chain when using the S/B the only thing I can come up with is to put it inside the frame next to the motor ? and what should the length of the lift cable be ? Thanks

Started on the S/B today, This shoulden't take long, You'll probably see it done and on the 725 soon, It's all preasure washed ready for the next step :D

Paul, the chain is 11 inches with the link

The cable is 21 inches from pin to pin.

The instruction manual states to put transport chain inside tractor frame with hook end hooked over the edge of the frame next to the engine.

I use one of the hole in the starter/generator bracket.

Paul I might be wrong but I believe the cable is the same as the one used on the RBT's to lift the mower deck.

Maynard, I have a few of them out in the tent. I'll go out and measure one.
