A farmer near here had a 720 that the pony went bad on. His farmstead was atop a fair sized hill, with a driveway leading down the hill. Guess where he parked the 720? This is a true story... For many years, he started it by rolling it down the driveway!!! If this is not an option for you, you should be able to find a 24 volt starter and mount for your tractor. In the 60's, 70's and 80's, I had an 830 electric start and a 730 electric start, in addition to a model "R" pony start. The electic start tractors sure were quick and convenient compared to the pony motors, but you must keep your charging system and batteries up to par. For colder weather starting in a remote area where you could not plug in the block heaters, the pony would really shine!

If you value the tractor as a special collector's item, keeping the pony would be the obvious choice, but if it earns it's keep by working every day, the electric starter is worth considering. You can get 24 volt alternators, which simplifies setting up a charging system.
