BCS 715 manual

[Ezzrider]

I just purchase a used BCS 715 tiller and I am in need of a manual to conduct routine maintenance, etc. The serial number on the transmission case is 86816. Anyone know where I can get one?
Also where exactly do you check the transmission oil level and is it normal for the engine to run on high rev when first starting?

Google earthtoolsbcs. I think i saw some paper ones when I was there, but they have them and the service manuals on cdrom.

Might be someone closer, but I've got no idea where you're at.

I'm new to this forum so this may have been provided but I found a link to many BCS manuals here.
Index of /pdfs

The link to the 715 is here

Not sure if they want us to see these since I couldn't find a link on their home site yet, but unless they lock it out, it's available on the 'Net!

Thanks. I ordered a CD that has the owners and shop manuals.

I was wondering if anyone has information on the Acme engine that goes with the BCS 715 tiller?

Hey sawzall,

How's the Rapids?

Your best bet is Earth Tools in Owenton KY. earthtoolsbcs.com

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and this gardening but i recently got an old bcs 715 tiller given to me by my uncle but it's not running. It has an 8hp diesel acme engine and i'm not very mechanically minded. Would it be too big a job for me to take on myself or should i get a mechanic to fix it for me.
I'd really love to have a go at it myself but afraid if i mess up no one will want to fix my mess.
Any suggestions, advice or help greatly appreciated.

Those diesel are really easy to work on. Easier than a gasoline engine, in my opinion. They're also about bulletproof. I bought a 735 diesel that had not run in several years. I cleaned up the injection system and it fired right up. Oldmech has it now.

Hi! For the small ACME diesel engine. For start. Look Pict 1 . You must pull speed lever at half or more 2. You must pull up the small button for (fuel primer) 3. Pull starter rope very hard and fast( with two hands)

If engine dont start. Pict2 With diesel engine we must change fuel filter at least every two years. We must bleed air in injection system. For this .L oose the nut at fuel line first at pump you crank 4-6 turns and after you tight the nut. and you repeat at fuel injector.
For valve adjustment the clearance is .006 in. or .15mm not .015 in. Good Luck! Oldmech
