BCS 718 - Models Designed for Front-Mounted Attachments; Models Designed for Rear-Mounted Attachments

MODELS DESIGNED FOR
FRONT-MOUNTED ATTACHMENTS
Models of the 800 series are convertible model desi-
gned primarily as pusher for front-mount attachments,
they have the PTO (power take-off) coupling up front,
and the engine and control column at the rear.
852 has 4 speeds forward and 3 speeds reverse as pu-
sher, 3 speeds forward and 3 speeds reverse as tractor.
853 has 3 speeds forward and 3 speeds reverse as
pusher, but in rear-mount attachments (tractor) has 4
speeds forward and 3 speeds reverse.
Swinging the handlebars around to place them over the
PTO coupling at the rear of the unit converts them for
rear-mount attachments (tractor).
The transmission changes drive wheel rotation to drive
the unit forward in either front-mount or rear-mount
mode.
Selecting one of three available gear positions on the
gear selector, and engaging the red reverser lever on
the right handlebar backs up the unit in either front-
mount or rear-mount mode.
The high speed lockout blocks selection of gear po-
sition #4 for backing up the units.
MODELS DESIGNED FOR
REAR-MOUNTED ATTACHMENTS
All models of the 700 series and 948 are designed for
rear-mount tillers, and all models are convertible for
front-mount attachments.
In the rear-mount mode, the PTO (power take-off) flan-
ge and the control column are at the rear and the engi-
ne is up front.
Models 710, 718, 722 and 732 have three speeds
forward, two reverse.
Model 948 has four speeds forward, three reverse.
Swinging the control column around from the PTO end
of the unit to the engine end converts it for front-mount
attachments.
A safety high speed/reverse lockout device on the con-
trol column blocks the high forward speeds on 710,
718, 722, 732 and 948 which are too fast for use in
backing the unit.
All models have a new type transmission that drives the
unit forward when placed in gear-even when converted
for front-mount attachments. In either front-drive or rear-
drive mode, selecting any gear except the high speed
(that the lockout blocks) and moving the red reverser
lever on the right handlebar backs up the unit. Gear #3
(#4 for 948) is too fast for backing up the unit.
