5500 backhoe
Hello All, Does anyone have, or know where I can find a wiring diagram for my late 60's Ford 5500 backhoe? Some of the original wiring harness is still on the unit, but many of the wires have been cut/broken off, so I am not sure what goes where. I have a copy of a factory parts list, but it... -

Ford Backhoe identification
I did my best to identify the last digit and it looks like a "T" or maybe a "J". The seller said it is a 3 speed forward & 3 speed reverse and that seems to be the case. But I had a hard time shifting it and want to know what I have, to read up on this machine so I know how it should work. I... -

I did my best to make out the last letter in the model number and it looks like a "T" or maybe a "J". The seller said it is 3 speeds forward and 3 speeds reverse. I believe he is right, but I had a hard time shifting it and don't want to move it until I know what I got and can read up on how it... -

Thanks guys for the replies. I will see if I can make out the letter @ the end of the model #.. The seller was told that it was a 550 when he bought it, but I don't think he knew that much about what he had. I did find some other numbers stamped on the frame, where the front bucket cylinders are... -

Identify Ford backhoe
Good Morning All, I just bought a Ford backhoe and cannot find the model & serial #"s on it. All the "markings" have been painted over. The seller said it is a mid 80"s, "555" model. But after looking at some pics on the web and a little research I am wondering if it is not a 755. It does have...
