715's are built with vendor parts. Perkins engine, Borg&Beck transmission, Ford rear end. They are pretty bullet proof. I bought a 715 in 1978 and traded for a 715B in '87 and still have it. They both sent most of their time digging silo foundations. Retired to farm duty now. Just look for the usual things and check the torque converter when it's warmed up.
