Probably. But that just makes it so you get along with us better.

 

 

I don't know the answer specifically but I'm thinking if the width of the front axle is the same and the back will bolt on to the 700 okay, should work.

7 horse is more than enough to plow. The key is having enough weight to gain traction.

Lawn Ranger blades do not mount to the rear axle They have a pair of plates that mount where the mid mount tach matic would be.  You would have to remove the drive pulley set up to mount the plates.  I would think the frame holes would line up OK and the lift arm is in the same location... I have plowed with my L107 and she does a good job.  i think that since you have to get on and off the tractor to reangle the blade I would put it on the Ranger.  Much easier climbing on and off than the bigger tractor
