1980 Bobcat 720 engine coupler

[bdoyle]

I am in the process of getting 720 Bobcat (basket case). Engine is out and missing the flywheel and coupler. It does come with two supposed running engines but they don't have the 'bobcat' flywheel. Anybody have any info about this coupler. There is one piece there that kind of looks like a driveshaft flange, but that's about it. About 1400 hours on the 720 but all else seems to be there.
Thanks,
Brian

Here's a page from the 700-720 parts manual with all the part numbers.

I have been talking to Repower Specialists in Eugene, Oregon. The Kohler CH1000 kit looks real attractive. Don't have to build an engine and comes with the parts to connect to the hydrostatic drive. Seems like the most expedient solution.

That's from the 700/720 parts manual, I was lucky when I got my 700 it came with a service and parts manual that I scanned one weekend.
With part numbers, you can often find stuff on ebay, or, there is a quite active facebook group, Melroe owners of Amerrica, that has lots of parts and info. They are primarily for the older clutch machines, but everyone is represented there.
