I'm restoring a early 736 engine I love the nickel rims of the 726 engines I want to replace the 736 wheels with the 726 nickel ones Is there any reason that doing this won't work?

It will most likely negate the magnetraction. The 726 baldwin disc wheels with the nickle rim were zinc. Zinc does carry magnetism. Zinc doesn't wear well is why the rims were added. You also need to make sure that wheel shaft is the same size.
The 726 I believe did not have Magna Traction and the 736 does so I thing the materal for the wheels and axles may be different, With out additional research that is off the top on my febal brain.
Oh yea. Never thought of that Thanks
