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.
