EricRs and my 2072 was reengined with a Command 18 when we bought it. We felt it was a cobbled job as they fit the engine to the drive shaft drilling new holes to mount and left the front pto too far forward. There was little effort to align the engine to the drive shaft so it ran a bit crooked. We repositioned the engine and had a custom drive shaft made and used rag joints fore and aft for connections. We did have to raise the engine about 3/8 inch to line everything up. The choice of a command engine is definately not a bolt in and go affair but can be done, wiring is different too but so different it cannot be made to work.
