Backhoe 2 Quick questions about my 3 pt backhoe

[DZLDamon]

Hey guys,

Some of you fellows identified my Bolens 3 pt Backhoe as an older Woods unit, either BH650 or BH750 from some pictures I posted earlier. Thanks you very much! Now, I have 2 questions:

How can I determine if it's a 650 or 750? Any measurements I can take to be 100% sure?

Secondly: What kind of fluid should I get for the hydraulic tank? Is it 32 or 68 weight? Universal Differential/Transmission oil (10W20 I think)? Thanks a bunch fellahs.

Normally there models are close to the inches of digging depth.

My 650/750 Manual states Use type A or F automatic transmission fluid, SAE 20W motor oil or #303 hydraulic fluid in this system...do not mix types of fluid. system capacity is approximately 5-5.5 gallons

The 650 can dig down 79.5 inches 750 91.8 "

Stabilizer spread 650 56.5 - 75 inches
750 52.5-89.5 inches (hmm..that's what it says!)
