Bill Grimes, a guy in my tractor club, did this that years ago on two different 2-cyl tractors.
He wrote about them in two fairly recent Green Magazine articles.
Just came home from our club's fair week pull and too tired to remember which month's edition they were in. We had 104 hooks. I'll try to look them up and post for those interested.

720 doesn't weigh as much as a 4430... what is it pulling when it "keeps up"?
I made up all the plumbing pieces for a JD 730 diesel about 8 years ago for a fellow in Ohio.
Initially he was planning a turbo but decided that the uneven exhaust impulses of the 2 cylinder would tear up the turbo in short order.
He instead went with a Paxton belt driven supercharger.
I made up the parts in stainless to his drawings and shipped them out. And he sent a check, That was the last I ever heard on this project. I'm assuming it was completed as it was probably quite a pricy project. I often never did hear the outcome on such things.
