If you're not familiar with the flo-jets you must remember to remove the emulsion tube with a tight fitting screwdriver before removing the bowl or you can destroy it.

The belt guard is integral to the function of the clutch lever since the clutch lever lock is mounted to the belt guard. The clutch lever lock is very important because it holds the clutch lever in neutral. Without the belt guard and clutch lever lock it will shift itself to forward all the time.
Good Luck and have fun!!

Stole these drawings from the DB Suburban yahoo group. This is not as elaborate as came on the 725's but it'll work fine. The clutch lever lock is different because your clutch lever is round, not flat bar like the drawing is for. This type of guard was used on the earlier tractors.
So the only modification you need is to change the configuration of the clutch lever lock. Check Stripmine's site for a manual. It shows what the clutch lever lock for your 725 should look like.

I made 16 covers and sent most of em out to ppl who needed them. I might have maybe 2 left but they are the least good of the bunch. Easy to make if you have access to a press brake or a pan brake.
