Dig-It towable Backhoe partial restoration

[JPRambo]

It looks original to me. But the machine has been painted at least one time by previous owners. I asked about it to the person at Power King Tractor. They did not get much info about accessories when then bought Digit.

Haven't been on this thread in a while. We did the re-power our 158 with the 22 HP Predator engine. It was a close fit height wise but it worked out well. Pictures attached. It isn't this pretty anymore. I've done some work with it the biggest of which was a drain system around the basement of a rental house. I had a neighbor that kept coming around in awe of how capable of a machine it is.

I just acquired a dig it 158. Can anyone tell me how to drain, check the fluid level, and what the capacity is in the hydraulic system? thank you
