Aug 03, 2010 Here is a picture of the used BCS 715 with tiller attachment I bought yesterday. I appreciate all the help from this forum with my trying to figure out how to check transmission oil and tiller gear box oil. I have no manuals but I have ordered a CD. If your repairs are extensive we can supply high quality photocopies of workshop manuals for the BCS 200 series tractors and attachments, the BCS 715, 725, 735 and 745 tractors and attachments and for Acme 6, 8, 10 and 12hp engines used on BCS tractors. Prices vary from $6.50 for owners manuals up to $15.00 for a 128 page workshop manual.
We carry a complete supply of replacement parts for all the Walk-behind tractors and implements we sell. Below are two “help guides” for some of the most common wear parts:
- Click HERE for Tiller tines
- Click HERE for Cutter (sickle) Bar parts
- Click HERE for ACME engine parts
- Click HERE for Replacement Engines
- Rotary Mower Parts (under construction)
For other tractor, implement, or engine parts, please CALL US.
SCROLL DOWN FOR INFO ON IDENTIFYING YOUR TRACTOR MODEL!!
When calling, it is best if you know your Tractor Model Number, but unfortunately most of the model numbers are hard to find on any BCS machine produced before 2004, because before 2004, BCS did NOT stamp the tractor model number into the transmission case; instead the model number was on a decal located either on the handlebars, or, if it is an old enough model, on the plastic engine “hood” (Acme engines only).
What you WILL find stamped into the transmission cases of pre-1995 BCS machines are serial numbers (which always have a star at each end) and a transmission “casting code”, which many people assume is a model number (see photos below).
Transmission casting code
The “casting codes” changed over time, as BCS updated their castings, but here is a list of some of the common “casting codes” and the BCS model numbers they correspond to:
Bcs 715 Owner's Manual User
- BCS7126 = Model 715
- BCS7154 = Model 715
