Serial #1534 is a 1975 which means it is a model 715, the 715B was made from 1977-1981 and the 715C after that.

1494 to 1758 puts it as a 1975 the plate where you have Srl# would have the 715B and then -D if it is a D series

Thankyou for the help, its very much appreciated. I have another odd question. In my Operators manual it calls out the Hydraulic Oil as a Grade Level SAE5W-20 &SAE10W-30 whick I interpret as engine oil. Does hydraulic oil come as an SAE?

3237 was the first one built in 1982 and that would make it a 715-C.

I have used universal tractor oil in the hydraulics of my 715B for the last 26 years and in my 715 before that with no problems.
