Hi:
I am looking at buying an 1979 AC 715 Backhoe. Can some one tell me the weight of this back hoe? Any other info would be helpful. Thanks

couple other posts here on 715 machines .
Perkins engine , 4 sp borg warner transmission , torque converter with few/rev clutch pack
14 ft hoe std. 1yd bucket.
say around 12 to 14000 pounds . orbital hyd steering ,
watch for crack on front timing cover by hyd pump , weak sopt if there is not a brace update kit put on to keep hyd pump from flexing housing under heavy load.

Couple people on here have posted on parts , believe someone in MI has a kit for the Fwd/ Rev unit when i checked on mine.
Believe it is like 17 Hrs for R&R of tranys and clutch pack. / If you cant find the old post you can try Herc-U-Lift in Mpls MN as they were a AC dealer on those machines.
Know for sure of who i will not recommend as they took me to cleaners when I had mine done in shop, should have done it myself. Bunch of crooks at Carlson Tractor in Rosemount MN shop.
