Brian313 0 Posted July 26, 2007 By reading a few archived posts this should be a few 725. Bent shifter and short steering colum. Is that right? Are there any other differences between a 700 and 725? It has no engine and no readable numbers.

Boney 0 Posted July 26, 2007 Look for some posts by "thedaddycat" he knows the 725/700 very well and speaks about the differences in some of his posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastPaul 0 Posted July 26, 2007 I think that is a 700 It has no cutout for the points A 725 has a cutout and a plate that bolts over the cutout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killer_A-C 0 Posted July 26, 2007 I believe it to be a 700 as well.Looks to be strait. Good luck on your resto,Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehertzfeld 1 Posted July 26, 2007 If it has a bent shifter, then most would be a 725. On the right side of the frame, look for holes for the remote choke. It would be located right before the dash, on the side of the frame. Like Paul said, the grill support looks to be from a 700. The 725, have a cut out and plate for the points. What dose the tank look like? If it has a square gas tank, it's from a 700, if it's a rounded one, that is a 725. Also, look at the front wheels. If they have tapered bearings, like the rest, them it's a 725. If it has a smooth bore instead of a bearing, then that is a 700. The length of the steering collum, won't help so much. We have seen a few 725 with the short ones. They must have used left over parts from the 700 the first year the 725 came out. Looks like a great candidate for a restore job. Nice find.:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeG 0 Posted July 26, 2007 The first two years of the 725 had the short steering column. They also had the remote choke on the right side of the frame and the cutout for the points. My early 725 has a square tank and I've seen them on several others. I would have to agree with the others, yours looks like it is a model 700. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian313 0 Posted July 27, 2007 I'll check the remote choke tonight. The front wheels are smooth bore. And I didnt get the tank. whats in the picture is all I have. Hopefully I can find enough parts to put it back together. Thanks for the help Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
