Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (6 handed) converter

CO (t1000)
Button (t2090)
SB (t195)
Hero (t1840)
UTG (t920)
MP (t1955)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG is allin for 920, 3 folds, Hero calls t520.

Flop: (t1120) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)

Turn: (t1120) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)

River: (t1120) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)

Final Pot: t1120

Results in white below: 
SB has Td Jc (one pair, tens).
Hero has 3d 7d (high card, ace).
UTG has Qh Js (straight, ace high).
Outcome: UTG wins t1120. 

In answering, assume that the table has been fairly aggressive and that someone will move allin next hand so that you won't be able to push from the SB.

As you can see, I called getting 3:1, but I'm wondering whether folding might be better here to preserve fold equity for later. If I call and lose, I only have 720 to push with assuming that I won't be able to push from SB. If I fold, I still have 1240 to push with assuming I won't be able to push from SB.

I would have folded for the fold equity reasons. I think it's close enough to swing your decision here.

according to SnG-analyzer this is a call, but its not a clear cut huge money winner call. (this is putting pusher on any pair any ace and any 2 broadway. )

I still say its a better fold because if the position you have on the pusher.
