1) In the event you choose to go with a stand alone "diesel" powered genset, make sure it will perform satisfactory having sufficient HP if you want to use your "home heating oil" to power it for extended periods ????? I've ran diesel engines on kerosene and/or home heating oil but obviously cant guarantee whatever engine you use with whatever fuel.
2) In the event you choose to go with a tractor PTO powered genset using your 720 two cylinder tractor, you might want to consider an Inverter style if such are available??? If its standard non inverter RPM dependent genset, I've heard reports that John Deere two bangers (due to their non smooth only two cylinder response) can cause a slight power flitter. Especially if non inverter, you need good smooth steady constant well governed and tight controlled RPM power WELL DUH... Some (not all) sensitive electronic devices might not perform well if dirty non regulated roaming frequency is applied !!!!!!!!!!!
3) There are a ton of tractor powered gensets out there that provide satisfactory emergency power for extended durations.
4) In the rare event you may be out of power for days on end, you sure have to look at the availability of whatever fuel you choose, but it appears you're already on that page.
5) Be sure to use safe and proper Switching and Transfer methods to feed emergency backup power to your home !!!! Where fire and life safety are concerned if in doubt consult trained competent professional engineers and electricians and your local utility versus risking ones life on lay opinions.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
